Maemo PC Connectivity automatically announces Samba shares, NFS shares, SSH, X11VNC and SBRSH through Avahi. Due to this, host PCs can easily find the services available from a Maemo device. Avahi is an open-source implementation of the ZeroConf. It is used to facilitate the discovery of services on a local network. It allows a Maemo device to publish and discover services and hosts running on a local network with no specific configuration. For example, you can plug in a Maemo device to a network and a Linux or Mac OS X host PC instantly finds disk shares and other network services running on your Maemo device.

First, you should install avahi-discover by executing the following command:

$ sudo apt-get install avahi-discover

Next, you can use the avahi-discover utility to see all services announced by the Maemo device, figure [[#fig:pc_connectivity_mpc_linux_avahi_discover|7.1]].
