Yeah I am not sure either. Perhaps in the network panel of System preferences you might want to add 'local' to the search domain and re-try. > In fact I tried replacing 'home'r with some other random name and the ping > from the Mac gave me the same result. > > The dns-sd -Q homer.local 255 1 on the Mac is now taking a very long time and > not outputting any results. dns-sd -Q runs a long-running query so it does not exit unless there is an error and you have to terminate manually. If you are able to resolve .local hostnames from the OpenSolaris machine then you should check the configuration on the Mac.
