Hi,

I have a raspberry pi running a service through a web interface. I'd like the pi to show up in the list of network devices under windows so that one can just double click on the device to automatically open the browser at the right IP address.

I have little to no experience with windows and have only done something similar for linux using avahi and my pi advertising a _http._tcp service. I understand that windows does not know avahi/zeroconf but uses upnp instead. This is how I got here because upnp seems to be for windows what avahi/zeroconf is for unix like OSes.

There seems to be no forum for user help, so I'm just writing my request for help here, I hope that's okay.

I found one solution how to make this work here http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/153509/ but that is written in vb and c# and very microsoft centric so of no use to me as I'm running linux on my raspberry pi. But it proves that it can be done.

Now my questions are:

1. Is miniupnpd the right software to advertise the http service of my raspberri by to windows computers in the network?

2. How do I configure miniupnpd to do what I want? The codeproject article solves the problem by sending a piece of html through upnp. Is this the way to go?

maybe using minissdpd would be easier for what you want to do.

Hi,
do you know of any existing software that uses minissdpd and does a similar thing to what I want to do? I'm not familiar with ssdp or minissdpd so I'm looking for resources to learn from.
Thanks!

you should look at SubmitServicesToMiniSSDPD() in miniupnpd :
