      What are the differences between avahi and samba ? Do they both

    On the other end, if you already run a webserver, you coudl add a
    bind9 server as a secondary domain name server. It runs fine with
    Apache or nginx running a web interface :
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.afn.org/~afn23397/">http://www.afn.org/~afn23397/</a><br>
    or Webmin (in the Debian rep but fat) See

    <br>
    In that case, you wouldn't need anithung else than DHCP clients.<br>

                  <br>
                  let me advocate zeronconf vs. static IP a little more.<br>
                  <div><br>
                    Charles Goyard wrote:<br>
                    &gt; Keep dhcp on to satisfy the network topology,
                    and try zeroconf.<br>
                    <br>
                  </div>
                  Also, it can perfectly be that mdns is enabled by
                  default on Raspian.<br>
                  You can check by issuing a "ping yourpihostname.local"
                  from the raspi.<br>
                  <br>
                  I find the static IP way a lot more time consuming and
                  error prone. The<br>
                  IP you choose can be free at the moment you set it,
                  but if a new<br>
                  computer pops up in the network, you can have a
                  conflict. Example: on my<br>
                  network my printer has a reserved IP in the DHCP
                  configuration. If you<br>
                  happen to pick this apparently available IP and I turn
                  the printer on,<br>
                  that's a big mess, because you have not respected the
                  network<br>
                  administrator's work :).<br>
                  <br>
                  Zeroconf has been made for that: you know nothing
                  about the network and<br>
                  still you're reachable by name. Easy, fast, default on
                  Ubuntu and Apples.<br>
                  <br>
