How to use Bonjour in Mac and Windows

[Bill Vlahos]

Monte,

Interesting. It didn't work for me running LC 6 until I used "kill". I'll double check.

Now that I can advertise the bonjour service how can I browse the network on the client? The following command works in the terminal.

I put the following script in a button but nothing gets into the field.

How would I get the list of computers on the network running the server so that the client can connect to one?

Thanks again,
