Thanks for the logs. presenceservice.log shows that salut
(LinkLocalPlugin) starts up successfully but doesn't detect anyone on
the local network. gabble (ServerPlugin) repeatedly attempts to
connect to a jabber server but fails - nevertheless salut is running.

Bill, can you surf the web with Browse?

Please also try this diagnostic command in Terminal: "avahi-browse -t
_presence._tcp" - that should use the underlying system (avahi) that
salut is built on, to show if there are other instances that it would
be able to detect. You should see one or more "iChat Presence" records
shown. If you only see one, that's yourself and for some reason you
can't reach the other machines. If you see more than one, then let me
know because there's a salut problem if you don't also see them in
mesh view.

I'll try to pull down the livecd image and check myself.

Regards
Morgan
