Why don't use you the name attribute of the NSNetService instance?
One of the assumptions about Rendezvous is that it shouldn't matter to
the user where a service is located; things like the IP address (and,
by extension, hostname) and the port number are abstracted away. The
name property is intended to be a human-readable identifier.
I don't know anything about what you're doing, but in the absence of
any other information [foo name] (for some NSNetService instance foo)
is probably what you ought to use.

I get an IP address (from NSNetServiceBrowswer) of a remote computer.
I try to get a friendly name to display to the user.
I'm using NSHost for that, and didn't deliver me any name !
although I do my test on localhost !
I don't understand, if I 'ping ihookIT.local', (the rendezvous name)
it work, even from a remote computer. why NSHost hasn't a clue ?
Anyway could you suggest me an other way to get a host name from an IP
?
