Re: NSLU2 Debian Lenny RC1: unable to connect to hostname.local
Thank you all for your input!
I currently use a Huawei D-20 EC506 Wireless Broadband Gateway (3G broadband), and it doesn't support adding IP numbers and hostnames. Hence the problem.

Problem solved. Thank you! Your post made it all come back to me. :)
I totally forgot that I'm running Avahi on the Ubuntu boxes.
All that is needed to get it working is installing libnss-mdns:
apt-get install libnss-mdns
Which will install the following packages:
avahi-daemon dbus dbus-x11 libavahi-common-data libavahi-common3
libavahi-core5 libdaemon0 libdbus-1-3 libnss-mdns
There is no need to reboot. The Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon will be started, and everything works immediately after the install is completed.
ping HOSTNAME
ssh HOSTNAME
and
http://HOSTNAME/
It works with or without .local.
