I have 2 Apple Macs and new Opensolaris machine, the hostname of which is 'homer'. I have tried to switch on mDNS on the Opensolaris machine (homer) by enabling the multicast service on:
svcadm enable network/dns/multicast and editting the /etc/nsswitch.conf file to contain: hosts: files mdns dns ipnodes: files mdns dns however when I check it by pinging homer.local from the Macs without success. I also tried getent hosts homer.local and was expecting to get t 192.168.1.3 homer.local but instead got 127.0.0.1 homer.local localhost loghost Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
