Product Description:

Rendezvous Browser is a utility that lets you see all available Rendezvous services on your local network, including TXT keys, resolved addresses, and link-local names. It scans for any present service available on a machine running Panther or higher (or newer hardware) and allows you to specify a list of services on Jaguar machines to scan for. It also comes with a large list of known services.

What's new in this version:

Version 1.5.3

Fixed crash in Tiger
Now displays service types in lowercase (such as _http._tcp.) since the case is not significant
Now handles multiple domains better
For preliminary Wide-Area Rendezvous support, browsing for all services is disabled for any non-local domain. This is to avoid slamming the server with tons of queries. Rendezvous Browser will only browse for a small, fixed subset of services, along with the dynamic service meta-query (if enabled)
Changed _feed-subscription-sharing._tcp. to _feed-sharing._tcp.
Added 35 new services: _sftp-ssh._tcp., _airprojector._tcp., _asr._tcp., _axis-video._tcp., _bigbangmancala._tcp., _cuseeme._udp., _cw-codetap._tcp., _cw-dpitap._tcp., _cw-oncetap._tcp., _cw-powertap._tcp., _dacp._tcp., _dns-llq._udp., _dns-update._udp., _domain._udp., _hmcp._tcp., _iax._udp., _ihouse._tcp., _jedit._tcp., _kerberos._tcp., _kerberos-adm._tcp., _logicnode._udp., _ntp._tcp., _ptnetprosrv2._tcp., _renderpipe._tcp., _rsync._tcp., _schick._tcp., _sip._udp., _syncqdea._tcp., _timbuktu._tcp., _xmpp-client._tcp., _xmpp-server._tcp., _xtimelicense._tcp., _xul-http._tcp., _bigbangbackgammon._tcp., _bigbangcheckers._tcp.

Version 1.5.2

Version checking now runs entirely in its own thread. This means a delay in connecting to the remote server no longer suspends the rest of the application.
Added name display for dynamic QuicKeys services
Added name display for Speed Download Anti-Piracy Service
Fixed Peer-to-Peer Chat to be _p2pchat._udp. instead of _p2pchat._tcp.
Fixed Animo Batch Server to be _animobserver_.tcp. instead of _animbserver._tcp.
Added 38 new services: _WorldBook2004ST._tcp., _accessone._tcp., _actionitems._tcp., _addressbook._tcp., _bfagent._tcp., _bigbangchess._tcp., _bsqdea._tcp., _ch-sente-go-server._tcp., _collection._tcp., _dossier._tcp., _ebms._tcp., _ebreg._tcp., _faxstfx._tcp., _feed_subscriptions_sharing._tcp., _fish._tcp., _fontagentnode._tcp., _ifolder._tcp., _ilynx._tcp., _ipbroadcaster._tcp., _isticky._tcp., _lan2p._tcp., _macminder._tcp., _net-assistant._udp., _odabsharing._tcp., _quinn._tcp., _raop._tcp., _realplayfavs._tcp., _rubygems._tcp., _sallingclicker._tcp., _see._tcp., _serendipd._tcp., _servermgr._tcp., _ticonnectmgr._tcp., _vos._tcp., _workgroup._tcp., _wormhole._tcp., and _xtshapro._tcp.

Very handy tool - Version: 1.5.6, 6/18/2009 01:06PM PST

dotmacman

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
