Your computers should be accessible as computer-name.local, e.g. Kens-Computer.local or something like that, so depending on what you're trying to do, you might be able to just use that name rather than the IP.
So you can just type vnc://Kens-Computer.local in the 'Connect to' window. You can see the computer's network name if you go to the Sharing ...

The delete/backspace key navigation has been removed.
To restore it:
Quit Safari.
Open Terminal
and enter this code at the command line:
defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2BackspaceKeyNavigationEnabled -bool YES
Restart Safari.

nslookup, host, and dig are perfectly good DNS query tools in OS X, but they all query DNS directly rather than going through OS X's internal resolution system. As a result, they don't check the /etc/hosts file, or resolve Bonjour/mDNS names (those ending in .local). The standard (quick 'n dirty) way to test resolution is to use ping, since it'll resolve the ...

From Apple's knowledge base article about Bonjour on Windows (my emphasis):
iTunes uses Bonjour to find shared music libraries, to find AirPort Express devices for streaming music to, and to find Apple TVs.
Safari uses Bonjour to find devices advertising web pages on your network. Many of today's network printers, network cameras, and wireless ...

It looks like you want something like NetSpy or ActyMac to monitor employee activity. It will handle what you want and more, although I'm not sure I would suggest the orwelian approach to employee management.
You may want to look into a pure network monitoring tool like Paessler.
The easiest solution would be for you to just monitor the server log on your ...

You can not do this when the display is asleep. Unless an app is actively utilizing it, the WiFi radio is put into it's sleep routines relatively quickly. (I don't know how the 3G radio in the iPad works, so I can't answer that half of the coin.)
Outside of that, what is the actual problem at hand? Are you using some app that provides a webserver/other ...

If all else fails you can create a wireless LAN directly on your Mac and connect your iPad to this WLAN. TUAW has some good instructions on how to do this. To start pick the appropriate option in the Airport/Wi-Fi menu (picture shamelessly taken from the linked TUAW article):
The rest is pretty self-explaining.

As Gerry said it's a bad idea.
Just removing mDNSResponder will also break DNS resolver.
However it's possible to disable Bonjour service advertisements. It can be achieved by adding value '-NoMulticastAdvertisements' to the array in the "ProgramArguments" section.
That's well described in Apple knowledge base article and on Charles Edge's site.

The dns-sd command-line tool can be helpful for this, but learning to use it is a bit tricky.
Running dns-sd -B _services._dns-sd._udp will return a list of all available service types that currently being advertised. (The list is per interface, so there will be some redundancy.) If this is done on a Mac with no active network connection, the list will of ...

Either command works fine. Just because it's not using OS X's methods doesn't mean that it doesn't work. If you want to use "OS X methods" may I recommend Network Utility?
This may still call whois and just display it in the window.

The action for emptying caches was moved to the develop menu:
You can still see resources in the web inspector:
To download YouTube videos, reload the page after opening the web inspector and double-click the videoplayback resource. To download it, you have to focus the location bar and press ⌥↩. ⌘S only saves some metadata.

You can login to the router and look for DHCP Table. It will list all connected devices along with their MAC and IP addresses.
But to avoid this issue altogether, why don't you setup DHCP Reservations through your router? Through that, you can assign a certain MAC address to a specific IP. That way your DHCP IPs remain constant.
The steps necessary to ...

I appreciate this is not ideal, but when a remote client connects to Airfoil Speakers on my machine, I see a line similar to the following generated in the Console, coming from /var/log/appfirewall.log
Firewall[85]: Allow Airfoil Speakers connecting from 192.168.1.72:52013 to port 5000 proto=6
So potentially you could cat or tail the appfirewall.log ...

If you don't have a VPN or something similar then you're not going to be able to use Bonjour. The multicast packets won't get passed from your colleagues network on to the internet (otherwise you'd see everyone in the world using Coda!). You need a VPN, possibly ShareTool (although I haven't tried it) or a local machine you can remote access.

Although it might not satisfy your exact criteria, Tildesoft's Bonjour Browser can list all the all the bonjour services advertised on your local network and the hosts that are advertising them.
I guess for locally advertised services you could drill down in Bonjour Browser to find the port number the service is advertised on, then use lsof to determine ...

Although classified as a legacy article, this very may well be what you are looking for: DNSServiceMetaQuery.
As outlined by the documentation:
This sample uses DNSServiceQueryRecord to send a Multicast DNS query that returns a list of Bonjour service types being advertised on the local network. Machines must be running mDNSResponder-58.6 (Mac OS X ...

Quoting from the page referenced in the question:
Note on DynDNS Free and DynDNS Pro: We currently do not support Wide Area Bonjour on our DynDNS Free and Pro services. You must use Dyn Standard DNS with your own domain name for this to work properly.
So it won't work with dynamic dns.com addresses.

Bring any tab to foreground
I used the Activity window of Safari 5.x to switch between tabs. Effective for all tabs of all windows, including windows that were minimised before quit. Very quick and simple:
double-click.
Without the Activity window
Sessions 1.3.0.2
The popover works as expected – click and hold the toolbar item to reveal a menu.

If you have your Wireless Access Point (WAP) configured as a router, and your AirPrint printer is connected to Ethernet, then your wireless AirPrint client and the printer are on different IP subnets. Link-local broadcast discovery protocols typically do not work through routers. That may be your problem, which can be fixed by configuring the WAP as a ...

If all else fails, you can always use the AirPrint Activator (an app for your Mac) that allows you to use any shared printer via AirPrint. If you can get the printer to be available over your network, you’ll still be able to use AirPrint this way.

You don't need it, about the only thing I have ever actually used it for in a Windows machine is to enable printing to a printer attached to my Airport Extreme. In fact because of the unusual port range it uses, I have actually encountered issues with VPNs that have refused to work properly until it is uninstalled, so I actually remove is as a matter of ...

Nambrot: What David said is exactly right. The college network is also almost certainly not able to detect if you're using a router, and routers are probably only not permitted in dorms in the sense that they make you potentially vulnerable to network breaches, packet sniffing, or incorrect subnets. If your college network doesn't permit static, externally ...

You have to setup your mac to wake from sleep on the wifi. It all depends on the model of your machine whether its capable of doing this or not. You can read more about setting this up on your mac at the following KB article at Apple.

It turns out that along with the real static IP that is set in the Drobo Dasbhoard each Drobo was assigned a local link address. After some digging around in the firmware I found that both Drobo's were just binding themselves to: 169.254.213.234 without checking if another device was using this address.
This is why Finder was showing DroboA as DroboB as it ...

Would you edit your question to make is more clear what you really want to do? Specifically what process do you hope to have running on the iPad to listen to incoming network connections?
Bonjour is almost certainly working fine on the iPad if it sees printers/AirTunes/AppleTV. As @vxjasonxv has shown - the iPad will answer pings when the display is on and ...

That would be a particular Bonjour-using service (which will be bundled with Bonjour for Windows; BfW is also bundled with Safari, iTunes, and MobileMe for Windows, among others). Apple doesn't distribute Bonjour for Windows (to end users; for developers/OEMs there's a package to be bundled with the OEM's own software) all by itself because most people want ...

In a word, yes. Printing is only part of it. http://www.apple.com/macosx/what-is-macosx/core-foundation.html gives a short description, and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonjour_(software) is a much more detailed one.

Usually, Bonjour only works on the local network and only its extension Wide-Area-Bonjour works through VPNs. Did you configure your Computer to use that or did you setup your router to handle that? Also, which other resources appear for the others at work?
But anyway, you don´t have to have File Sharing "turned on" on your computer (which will then cause ...
