Are you retarded ? Of course you have to change the “mymac” in “mymac.local” to match the _actual_ name of the Mac you want to reach Actually even your iPhone’s IP address is broadcasted over bonjour (Give something like “Joe Bob’s iPhone.local” a shot for example)

And this is not “black magic” or whatever: just open the “Sharing” panel of the System Preferences on your Mac, and it’ll tell you the actual “.local” name of your machine. Running “hostname” in a terminal might help too, however some hardcoded DNS entry would take precedence over mDNS.

True but a lot is missing
On Apple TV there is all my music – still can’t stream that for other PCs in my house
iPhone is just dumb with accessign remote music or sharing it

Dude, your first sentence is *totally* wrong.

Both the AppleTV AND the iPhone impement bonjour. For instance, you can browsed shared libraries on your AppleTV : this wouldn’t be possible w/o bonjour. As for the iPhone, you could type something such as “http://mymac.local” in Safari, and it does work. Once again, thanks to bonjour…
