I'm trying to configure an avahi host with IP 127.0.0.1 (I want network computer to see themselves on a specific hostname for testing purposes).
So i added this in /etc/avahi/hosts file :
127.0.0.1 myhosname.local
But, when execute /usr/sbin/avahi-daemon :
ound user 'avahi' (UID 993) and group 'avahi' (GID 992).
Successfully dropped root privileges.
avahi-daemon 0.8 starting up.
Successfully called chroot().
Successfully dropped remaining capabilities.

Server startup complete. Host name is 26e338178fdb.local. Local service cookie is 2934936630.
Static host name myhosname.local: avahi_server_add_address failure: Local name collision

This error happens : Static host name myhosname.local: avahi_server_add_address failure: Local name collision
I think it is because 127.0.0.1 is already used ? How can I achieve that ? Thanks !
