In this case the simplest thing is to capture the traffic and put it online or
mail it if it's not too big. To do that do the following:

$ tcpdump -n -i <your network interface> -s 1500 -w <output file> port 5353

This will instruct tcpdump to dump all traffic on port 5353 on your netwrok
interface to the output file. I'm interested in the traffic from just before
you put salut online, untill you get the the ``Resolver failed: Timeout''
message.
