meshchat v0.7b7 question

I'm experimenting with Mesh Chat on several nodes (3, to be exact) and a Raspberry Pi.

When a message is posted from one of the nodes, it migrates to the other 2 nodes, and to the Pi.

However, when a message is posted from the Pi, it stays on the Pi. 

The same is true for the "Mesh Chat Users" window -- on the Pi, users from all nodes show up.  But the Pi does not show up in the other nodes.

So, there's communication TO the Pi from the nodes, but nothing FROM the Pi to nodes.

And, when I attempt to access the Pi through the mesh net, with the URL http://raspberrypi.local.mesh:8080/meshchat (as a link on the mesh status page), it doesn't work.  Yet the URL http://raspberrypi.local.mesh/meshchat/ (or http://[ip-address]/meshchat/) does work in the browser. 

Any thoughts on what's happening here?

Thank you!

1) Your Pi is probably
1) Your Pi is probably listening on port 80 so your advertisement is likely incorrect. (Which sounds right based on your comments) so you need to adjust the service advertisement.
2) raspberrypi is not a unique name, you could have a name conflict, you should adjust the Pi's advertised to something unique (like AL1Q-homepi) to be sure they are not trying to go to another Pi on the mesh.

Thank you!
That worked!  The nodes are syncing properly. 

And I changed the name -- it's the only one the net for now, but that will change.

Thank you!
