Bonjour Browser ReviewVery handy tool - Version: 1.5.6, 6/18/2009 01:06PM PST

This little utility will show you all the services advertising themselves via Bonjour (mDNS) on your local network. This can be handy for finding the IP address of a machine, router, printer, etc.
Works fine on Leopard 10.5.7

For those wondering, Bonjour Browser still works fine with Leopard. I am using it with Mac OS X 10.5.6 Server and getting full functionality.

Bonjour Browser CommentaryZeroconf is not dead - Version: 1.5.5, 10/12/2005 02:04PM PST

Bonjour has the widest adoption of any of the zeroconf technologies, yes the Apple version is not entirely compliant with the whole standard, but there is no implementation out there which is! Before you declare rendezvous dead, you should see what would replace it. Nothing! Bonjour will morph to whatever else comes down the pipe. It already supposrts DNS-SD and mDNS, and I'm sure that whatever other standards come down the pipe will be able to be accommodated as well.

Bonjour Browser CommentaryRendezvous is Dead Anyway - Version: 1.5.3, 3/12/2005 02:03PM PST

What's the point? As typical with any Apple Over-Hyped technology, it's gone nowhere. Apple is essentially the only implementor and vertually no one else has adopted it.

Example: Of all the current Home or SoHo Network HDD's, NONE of the major brands except for D-Link's tiny 40GB NAS, has adopted Rendezvous! Maxtor, Buffalo, Iomega, Linksys, HP, Ximeta, LaCie (big Mac backer too), Cisco, Snap Appliance Snap Server, etc. NONE have adopted Rendezvous. Name an obvious technology as computer relevent as Home Network Drives that has?

FireWire800, another dead Apple technology - even Apple has switched to USB 2.0.

I've used (not anymore) Rendezvous Browser since released. It's a nice little app, better than having to lauch slow-poke Safari, but Rendezvous is DOA.

Shouldn't this be called OpenTalk Browser. I thought the Rendezvous name was dead in the water.

I think that everyone realized that Rendezvous didnt' do anything more than what is also built into Windows NT / XP. Nice try Stevie!

This is a great tool for developers and power users alike. This is exactly what you need for debugging and discovering Rendezvous service. And the price is right too! ;)

It helped me to find out the port number for sharing a scanner over local network so I could open the port in the built-in OS X firewall. Great.

This is so nice to have if you are trying to manage more than on machine on your home or office network. Why its not built into OSX in the Network utility I have no idea but I'm grateful that it been done and is free. Thank you very much.
