Re: Bonjour-dev Digest, Vol 4, Issue 138

Sounds similar to a problem I observed last month and reported here that turned out to be a problem in the wireless router not doing multicast correctly.

I this case, I suspect wireshark is tossing the adapter into a promiscuous mode that is suddenly letting the machine see the multicast packets, either because of a change of state on the host, or because changing the mode sent something that changed what the router did.

I'd try a different wireless router brand/model and see if that makes a difference.

I've had problems before with cheap switches not liking multicast, and it looks like wireless routers have similar issues. Multicast exploitation still seems close to bleeding edge territory despite being 20 years old.

=dB
I've also discovered that
if I run WireShark while in wireless mode and start capturing, then it
behaves properly. I'm trying to diagnose why the wireless won't behave
properly regarding D&A. Any ideas?
