    Local network discovery disabled

    We recently canceled our home internet service. We have a network drive (WD My Book Live) and a wi-fi printer, so I'm keeping the router on. This worked fine after the internet service was shut off, until we disconnected the modem. Now on startup I get an error (running 12.04, by the way) that says

    "Network service discovery disabled
    Your current network has a .local domain, which is not recommended and incompatible with the Avahi network service discovery. The service has been disabled."

    Is there an alternative to Avahi that might work? The router is an Asus RT-N66U. Maybe there's a way to change the domain name on there? Thanks.
