What are the differences between avahi and samba ?</blockquote>
Samba is primarily a file-sharing server-client program, not a
decentralized name service. Plus it's fat.<br>

zeronconf looks pretty close indeed to what I was looking
for... I'll give it a try tonight and will report the results
shortly!<br>

<br>
let me advocate zeronconf vs. static IP a little more.<br>

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>
Search "avahi" in this page:<br>

To have zeroconf installed in windows: <a

(yes, it's supposed to be about printers but it works
for the whole<br>
system)<br>
