bonjour/mdns not working between wired and wireless clients

[ebalsumgo]

So if you want to have AirPlay in the house you need to have Bonjour/MDNS working (its a multicast protocol that clients basically announce themselves to everyone). If i have a device connected through the wire I am able to see it as a target from any other devices connected trough wire as well, if I am connected to the wireless (both 5 and 2.4) I am able to see clients which are connected to the wireless only... as you can see something is wrong and I dont know what, I should be able to see any client on my network regardless of what I am connected to. Anyone else run into this problem?

I am seeing this on an RT68U running .40-alpha4

Yeah i have been investigating more and it doesnt exhibit this behavior when mixing 5ghz and 2.4ghz. It is not machine related as I can plug my laptop into the wired network and remove it from the wireless and it stops seeing the wireless AirPlay targets. It seems as if the traffic is nto being rebroadcast between the two interfaces (wired and wireless) but I do not know how to go about doing anything to fix it from the GUI or the CLI :/

If you have IGMP snooping enabled, try disabling it. If you have IGMP snooping disabled, try enabling it.

I have now tried IGMP snooping enabled on both 5 and 2.4 as well as disabling HW acceleration, none seem to work :/

I have now tried running .40-beta3 with a full factory reset, turning off HW Accel, STP and turning on IGMP, still no luck :/ wired clients only see wired, wireless clients only see wireless.

hmmm digging some more, it seems it might be connected to my netgear gs108T that all my wired clients are currently hooked up to for Link Aggregation.

so I think i have it narrowed down to me basically needing to force everything in the same vlan so the switch will actually acknowledge the traffic that comes in but in order to do that I need to play with setting VLAN tags on the router side. I have not found a way to do it through the GUI, am I missing it or am I better off sticking to CLI?
