No configuration. No complication. Thanks to Bonjour technology, getting computers and smart devices to work together is as easy as connecting them.
Bonjour for Windows, also known as zero-configuration networking, enables automatic discovery of computers, devices, and services on IP networks.
Computers and devices with Bonjour automatically broadcast their own services and listen for services being offered for the use of others. Your computer might see a printer available for printing, an iTunes playlist available for listening, an iChat buddy available for video conferencing. Or even another computer available for file sharing
Bonjour uses industry standard IP protocols to allow devices to automatically discover each other without the need to enter IP addresses or configure DNS servers.
Bonjour is a networking protocol that sends and receives network packets on UDP port 5353. If you have a personal firewall enabled, you will need to ensure that UDP port 5353 is open for Bonjour to work correctly.
Bonjour requires Windows 2000/2003, Windows XP or Windows Vista.
