Hi,with a help of Michael, I've investigated this problem down to its root cause, which appeared to be a misbehabing Avahi daemon.
If in one console the following command is being running: avahi-publish -s test _test._tcp 0 The following command running in another console prints nothing: avahi-browse -rt _test._tcpAs I'm not very familiar with Avahi troubleshooting, any help or ideas are welcome.
