Mac Tips Daily! #139 - Bonjour for Windows
Sunday, May 31, 2009 at 12:41PM
Do you use Macs & PCs? Well, OS X has a built in networking technology called 'Bonjour', and it is one of the Zero-Config setups you are always hearing about. I use Bonjour for printing from my PC to a printer attached to my Mac, but it can do much more than that.
To make it simple, I use a program Apple provides free of charge - Bonjour for Windows 1.03 (download it on your PC -- not the Mac). It requires Windows 2000, 2003 server, or XP. You also need to have some type of home network installed, where your computers are setup so they can talk to each other.
Run the client on your PC (not the Mac), and then you can seamlessly network your printers & more with your Mac!
