The "Computer Name" is used for the SRV records that Bonjour needs
for browsing.
The "Local Hostname" is used for the A records that Bonjour needs for
resolving.

What confused me is that the LocalHostName may not exist (be null)
until you advertise a service, but the default name for your service
will use the computer name. The statement in Sharing Preferences
that other hosts on your LAN can access this computer using the
LocalHostName is not true in the default case of publishing your own
service.
I don't understand this comment. What test are you running and what
is going wrong?
