avahi-discover on kusanagi

For the experiment, I have two computers, one laptop (Marvin) and a desktop (Kusanagi). The laptop is the one being problematic.

As you'll see in attached screenshots, kusanagi can see marvin but marvin cannot see kusanagi over avahi (it can only see itself). This is problematic as I cannot use pulseaudio's network feature or empathy's bonjour account.

Machines cannot ping each other by using kusanagi.local or marvin.local, but it works fine with the local IP address.

Yet, 
- avahi is running properly on both machines (tested various combinations of "service avahi-daemon start" and manually starting "avahi-daemon" from a root terminal)
- selinux and the firewall are entirely disabled on both machines
- using another laptop (kiki) in combination with kusanagi, it works. That's the most annoying part, I can't figure out what could be set up differently on marvin that prevents it from working.

How can I troubleshoot this?

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 16:57:44 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
