Nemo should automatically discover and display mDNS hosts and be able to connect to them. I also think that the smb://ip-adress entry is inappropriate, since avahi is a separate service and does not require samba, so the smb:// entry is incorrect. At the moment, it is not at all clear how to use mDNS (avahi) without support for this technology in Nemo. This function has been working in dolphin (KDE) for a long time.
Please don't be confused, WS-Discovery and mDNS are different things!
mDNS (Multicast DNS):
Features: mDNS is a device and service discovery protocol that allows devices on a local network to communicate with each other without a centralized DNS server.
Protocol: Based on UDP (User Datagram Protocol) and works using multicast messages.
How it works: Works by sending out DNS-like queries and responses to discover devices on the local network.
Application: Widely used for device and service discovery on small local area networks where centralized DNS is not practical.
