Not seeing hosts or services in Bonjour

Bonjour "just works," except when it doesn't. When I started to wonder why I could only intermittently see my wife's MacBook in iChat and never via the Finder, I started looking for Bonjour problems on both computers. I couldn't find any, but eventually tracked the problem down with the help of this discussion thread:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070427133511931
The culprit was my Linksys WRT54GX2 wireless router. Multicast pass-through was disabled by default, and many Bonjour services (notably iTunes LAN sharing) apparently depend on it. The link above says to look under the Security menu, which may be true for some Linksys models. On mine, it was under the Administration menu and the Management sub-menu.
Posting this here in the hopes of saving someone else my hassles. Cheers!

I don't have an Express, but you might take a look with Airport admin Utility as to what's in there!
I kinda doubt Apple would have it disabled by default, but...
Have you created a Computer to Computer Network on both yet?

  • Nexus 1010 VSM does not see VEM (DPA service not running....)

    Hi all,
    I have the attached topology. All the conf outputs and device details are attached.  The problem is "vemcmd show card info" output shows that VEM correctly receives the control, packet VLAN information from the VSM. However I couldnt make vempda service to run. I got the same output all the sayins that : "VEM Agent (vemdpa) is not running".  I checked the control and packet vlan end to end connectivity by creating VMs and etc. there werent any problems....One thing is that, VEM AIPC MAC never showed up in the upstream switch which is connected to ESX host.
    I would be glad if someone can help me out with any configuration errors or anything like that...

  • QAdministrator not seeing other (computer) service node....

    Cant figure out why Qmaster Service Browser is only showing the one computer of the two?
    I am trying to make a cluster with two 8 core Mac Pro's connected by ethernet cable to help distribute the work load when I am compressing video.
    I use both of them to compress video so I clicked "Services and cluster controller" for both.

    Can't answer your question but will propose another way go about this.
    Why not simply use unmanaged services on both machines? What this does is allow Qmaster to go out and find any machines available on the segment of the network automatically. All you have to do is submit the job with "use unmanaged services on other computers" checked and both machines should be engaged.
    This works fine when you control both machines. Managed makes more sense when you want to control which machines are pulled into the render.

  • Help! Computer still not seeing Apple TV

    No matter what I do, my computer is not seeing my new Apple TV (got it used). I have a ATT Uverse modem and both my G4 (OS X 10.4.11) and the Apple TV are plugged into it. They can both connect just fine, but the computer is not seeing it when I go to preferences>Apple TV. Both iTunes and the Apple TV have the latest software and I even reset the Apple TV to factory settings and re-installed iTunes. I even went so far as to use a wireless modem plugged into one of the Ethernet ports on the back of the Uverse modem and connected both my computer and Apple TV to that modem so they are on the same network.
    Is there something I am missing? No matter what I do it is not working

    While I have a PC, I went through exactly the same problem you are having. No matter what I did, I could not get it to see the device. After clicking on pretty much every possible link, I found a message stating iTunes could not see Apple TV because the Bonjour service was not enabled. Only problem was ... there is nowhere to enable Bonjour + searching for this word through Apple's help had no results. It wasn't until I Googled it that I found a link to download the program (which the book never mentions by the way). The link ironically leads back to Apple's site. Once downloaded, it saw it immediately and worked fine. While a Mac is configured different, it sounds like you need the Mac version of this software.

  • Windows 8.1 will not see the Printers host name or ip address

    I have tried installing an OfficeJet Pro 8615 on two different Windows 8.1 computers (wireless)  but did not connect.  Pirnter is connected to network wireless (192.168.111.153). Router is 192.168.111.1. The printer was installed from a Vista (wired) desktop and it connected and printed fine. Both 8.1s can ping router but not the printer. Host name install does not work either. Router is a new Cisco RV180w. It works fine everywhere else. Printer wireless power is 5 of 6. Have looked for shared devices setting on Win 8.1 but have not found it yet. Win 8.1 computers are both 64bit and the install download showed 64x. I am running out of things to check. Can anyone help me? Win 8.1 computers sees other devices on the network but not the printer. Print & Scan Doctor does not see the printer either.
    Now I am having the same problem with a Win7 (64) install. It can't see it either. Once I plugged this one into the network then it saw the printer and installed and printed. But if I unpluged the network wire and made it wireless then it stopped seeing the printer. So I am having some  kind of a wireless issue.

    Hi @EdEdata ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. Thanks for all the details of what you have done and the restuls. (Very helpful) I have read about your HP OfficeJet Pro 8615 Printer not connecting wireless and is not seen by the Print and Scan Dr. Here is a document on printer does not keep a wireless connection.  Try assigning a Static IP address. You might have to change the channel.
    Make sure your computer is connected to 802.11b/g/n wireless router over a 2.4 GHz connection. NOTE: HP Printers are currently not compatible with 802.11n 5.0 GHz networks. This HP document here, explains about a printer wireless.

  • Flex Data Services does not see remote methods in extended ColdFusion component.

    I have created a remote service base component as a AModelService.cfc file. I extend that file to make my ModelService.cfc. When I configure the ColdFusion data service and point to ModelService.cfc and click next, I don't see any remote methods (there are none explicitly defined in the component) in the Service Operations window.
    If I go back and point to AModelServide.cfc, the parent component, and hit next, I see all the remote methods that are defined in the parent component. So, either I am doing something wrong, or Data Services does not look at methods up the cfc prototype chain, which from an OOP standpoint means that instead of say creating one restful base class and being nice and DRY you can't. I.e. not OOP for data services. Is this a bug, or what?
    Anybody get data services to work with extended service components?
    Mark

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, I did compile all the Java and it
    works OK with a simple Java program. It just will not work in a
    Flex application.
    The java classes are:
    RRA:
    package blah.myPackage;
    import java.util.List;
    import java.util.Collection;
    import flex.data.DataSyncException;
    import flex.data.assemblers.AbstractAssembler;
    class RRA extends AbstractAssembler
    public Collection fill( List fillParameters )
    RRS service = new RRS();
    return service.getSome();
    RRS:
    package blah.myPackage;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.List;
    import java.sql.*;
    import flex.EORS.*;
    class RRS
    public List getSome()
    ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
    String str = "bob";
    RR rr = new RR(str);
    list.add(rr);
    return list;
    RR:
    package blah.myPackage;
    class RR
    private String name;
    public RR() { }
    public RR(String name)
    this.name = name;
    public String getName()
    return this.name;
    public void setName(String name)
    this.name = name;
    I started with something that retrieved data from a database
    but watered it down just to try and get some kind of communication
    between Flex and Java.

  • Does SBS not host sufficient services to provide 'Enhanced presence Privacy' to users homed on that server?

    Hello All,
    I have a question around Enhanced Presence Privacy mode. I understand from the Technet documentation that EPP can only be enabled Globally, at the Site Level or at the User Server Service level. Due to the fact that managing client-side
    EPP settings is not exposed in the Lync Control Panel or Shell the recommendation for enabling EPP for a subset of users is to have a separate pool for those users. 
    I’m working with a customer who needs to deploy EPP for a subset of their users but considering that we’re already planning to deploy a centralised enterprise pool of 4 front end servers they are reticent to deploy another enterprise pool
    to offer their EPP enabled users resiliency. Given that pool pairing only works with enterprise edition to enterprise edition or standard edition to standard edition I came up with the idea of deploying a Survivable Branch Server for the EPP enabled users
    assuming that this new site would provide a target for EPP policies for those users. However, in testing this idea in the lab I’ve found that although I can create a site level policy for the SBS site the users homed on the SBS do not pick up the policy -
    EPP does not work and in the Lync client Status settings the same options are offered that would be offered if EPP was not enabled.
    Questions:
    Is this expected behaviour? I.e. Does an SBS not host sufficient services to provide EPP to users homed on that server, even though it’s technically another site?
    What is meant by the documentation when it talks about assigning the policy to the “User Server Service”? I assume there is only 1 of these services per pool?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    I didn’t find any documents about the SBS limitation to provide EPP mode.
    Please try to set a user policy to test if EPP mode works for the branch site users.

  • VMware 5.0 host not seeing EMC VNX5300 through UCS

    Is there a documentation on how to hooking this up correctly?
    Jimmy

    Hi Jimmy,
    If you are using UCS version 2.1, it could be that you missed to do the zoning in UCS for the FC direct attached storage. Please enable zoning in the required VSAN and follow steps in
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/gui/config/guide/2.1/b_UCSM_GUI_Configuration_Guide_2_1_chapter_011011.html to configure the zoning.
    If your UCS version is prior to 2.1, you need to have a upstream SAN switch which is connected to FI and pushing the zone database to the FI.
    Hope this helps.

  • Pre 2010 Macs not seeing netboot images hosted on 10.6.7 server

    I'm having an interesting issue where any pre-2010 Mac will not see available images hosted on OS 10.6.7 Server. Anything later than mid-2010 has no issues and sees all of the available boot images when option booting. Does anyone have any insight as to why this might be happening. I'm still searching but not having any luck.

    Just a shot in the dark but is it possible you have enabled some kind of filtering  under Netboot/Settings/Filters? My box to enable is unchecked.
