10.4: How to disable Bonjour
OK, I read the link .../kb/HT3473 which in my opinion consisted of the ozone layer. I am on this thread because I have a new Mac Book Pro with OSX 10.6.6 - Snow Leopard. I have Symantec/Norton firewall which gives me a "view current network connections" panel. This shows 10 services and ports, all of which are activated by mDNSResponder and in "listening" status. There is only one active port which is connected. That is my Firefox browser window in which I am typing this post. Why do I need 10 ports listening in, and who/where can connect to these ports? If I enable IPv6 under Airport preferences, the number of listening ports increases. I have another laptop running Windows XP Pro SP2. The Symantec/Norton firewall on that machine allows only one monitored communication port. What's the deal Mac? I already have iChat blocked in the firewall. How do I get rid of these "listening" ports? |
