Looking at the the network traffic leaves me bewildered. There is too much variability to be able to make any sense of what is going on. Sometimes ping works and sometimes not. Restarting avahi-daemon does not appear to make any difference to this apart from the obvious flurry of packets when it does.

avahi-resolve-host-name does not behave significantly differently to ping (it does sometimes work, but then so does ping).

I'm lost with trying to sort this out though.
