Getting file sharing with Avahi working...

I am trying to get files from another computer on my home network. I have set up the Kpf applet, and I can browse the files happily on the host computer. But when I try it on a different computer running KDE, I get this:

An error occurred while loading zeroconf://local/_http._tcp/(shared folder):
Unknown host (hostname).local

I am getting to it from the zeroconf:/ kio slave. Why isn't it working? I have avahi's daemons running...

EDIT: Ok I found out that the system trying to connect can't connect to a share of a folder on it. Maybe that's the problem? I can also connect to the share on system that's trying to connect. Also the system that's trying to connect is wireless with an ndiswrapper driver... I'm hoping that's not the problem.

I have searched around and found a howto on the Ubuntu Forums here:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? … ight=avahi

Which says to use vsftpd, which doesn't seem to be working for me (I think). Is there a way to test it?
