A possible fix for a 'blind' Bonjour

If you happen to not see as many Bonjour devices on your network as you know you should, check that IPV6 is enabled in the Network System Preferences panel (on the Advanced tab).

I don't know why, but it seems that Bonjour needs IPv6 to discover the whole network.

[robg adds: This is the first I've heard of this, and I can't really test it, as I have only a couple Bonjour-enabled devices, and they both show up regardless of whether IPv6 is enabled or not.]
