Great hint! But why doesn't this happen automatically?
Authored by: derrickbass on Feb 05, '03 05:40:27AM

Finally, I can share my printer!

Now, the question for any Rendezvous experts out there... Isn't this exactly what Rendezvous is supposed to do automatically? Shouldn't all the computers connected locally assign themselves addresses in the ZeroConf range? I've discovered experimentally that this does happen if I disconnect my cable modem, but if the computers are connected to the internet, Rendezvous seems to use their assigned IP addresses rather than creating Rendezvous addresses. Does anyone know why that is?
