Does anybody happen to know why a mDNS "A" type request would work for
WindowsXP but not for Mac OSX. I'm teaching myself mDNS by programming an
embedded device to respond to mDNS type "A" queries. I beleive I'm doing
everything correctly but Mac OSX doesn't accept my response while
WindowsXP does. I've tried changing many things (flags,UDP source port,
etc.) but can't seem to get OSX to accept my request. My embedded device
is named junk.local and I'm testing this by doing a "ping junk.local".
OSX responds with "ping: cannot resolve junk.local: Unknown host" while
WindowsXP resolves the name and pings my device as expected.
Thanks,
Chris
Here are the specifics of the packets that are exchanged...
WindowsXP ip address = 192.168.254.3
Macbook ip address = 192.168.254.6
embedded device name = junk.local, ip address = 192.168.254.21
This works!
