From: Bruce in alaska on 5 May 2008 13:36 I am stumped.... Does Bonjour pass thru Access Points? I can use it on both sides of a Buffalo MIMO WDS Link Segment, (802.11g) but I don't seem to be able to see across that segment. It passes AppleTalk, and all the IP traffic I have tried, but not Bonjour. I would expect Bonjour not to cross a Router Boundry, but this segment is all in the same subnet, so I think it should work. Hmmm, any ideas? -- Bruce in alaska add <path> after <fast> to reply

You are right that normally Bonjour doesn't cross an IP router boundary. It is an unmanaged distributed (non-centralized) automatic substitute for DNS. It was only intended for use on the local sub-net. There is an extension to it that works across the Internet but I'd assume that is not in play. I use it across my Motorola AP (b/g) / Router / Switch with no problems. I've also used it successfully with an Airport snow Base Station and an Airport Express in WDS mode. I guess as a first step I'd verify the IP and masks on both sides to make certain they are on the same subnet. Try Bonjour Browser (www.versiontracker.com). It lists every service being announced and every node announcing that service that can be seen at that machine. It is a good tool to track down problems with Bonjour. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" |
