Won't found wireless devices from wired computer on the same network #368

Subject pretty much tells the problem. I have a router and my Nest Mini and Nest Audio are connected to it. Then i have a computer which is connected via cable to the same router. All are in the same network. Somehow AirConnect won't find my devices if I'm connected to the network by cable with my computer. Works just fine if I'm connected wirelessly. Casting from Chrome-browser works just fine eather way (also by cable) so something strange...

Any ideas what might be the problem?

I think i got it working now. I had to uncheck "Multicast Enable". I thought it should be enabled, but it seems it must be disabled? Thank you very much for the link!

Now I have a differerent problem. My Ubuntu Desktop works OK, but Ubuntu Server does not. AirConnect seems to work just fine on Ubuntu Server when i run "aircast-x86-64" and see the output. But when I run "aircast-x86-64 -z" so that it runs in the background and after that list my sinks with "pacmd list-sinks" there is just my servers own sound card present. Very strange. I have similar machines as a Ubuntu Desktop installation and Ubuntu Server installations. "Pulseaudio" and "pulseaudio-utils" are installed.
