Using Bonjour to locate the SqueezeCenter on the network for web clients fails on Windows (running Vista Business Edition here).

To reproduce, install Bonjour for Windows on machine running Vista. Then try to navigate to http://mysqueezecenter.local:9000 from a Mac OS 10.5 machine on the network, where mysqueezecenter is the name of the Vista server.

For example, when I try to resolve the SqueezeCenter with Bonjour, I get this:

% telnet betamax.local 9000 
Trying fe80::dc0e:c0b0:6943:4cf8...
telnet: connect to address fe80::dc0e:c0b0:6943:4cf8: Operation timed out
Trying 192.168.0.100...
Connected to betamax.local.
Escape character is '^]'.

After a minute or so, the telnet connection attempt times out, and retries on IPv4 which then succeeds. Safari gives up before this however, and does not succeed at all.

Accessing http://mysqueezecenter.local:9000 from the Vista machine itself (using the Chrome browser) seems to succeed still.

This worked before for me, so I'm not sure what changed. Perhaps IPv6 support is new in the latest Bonjour for Windows 1.0.6 update that came out in Dec 2008.

There are a few discussions in the forums debating the utility of IPv6 in the SlimDevice environment. While it may not be necessary from a strict address space standpoint, it would be nice if Bonjour worked out of the box.

Thanks for considering!
