With Bonjour installed in PC, I can access my server in Mac with ".local". For example, I can access my mac with the name "prosseek.local".

The problem is that in Chrome for PC, it doesn't recognize "local" to open search page instead of accessing mac server.

This issue isn't happening with other web browsers (explore/firefox) in PC. What is even wierder is that chrome seems to recognize the ".local" sometimes, but not always.

How to solve this issue? Or, how can I teach chrome that ".local" is a part of page name in order not to direct to search page?

I'm building a .net-microframework app that uses Zeroconf. The existing zeroconf solutions all seem to either rely on dns-sd.dll or some other interop function of .net which is not supported in .netmf. Is there a pure C# version of zeroconf (or dns-sd) out there that you know of? >>> More
