This is a known issue with the Bonjour mDNS resolver plugin for Windows that we probably can't fix. The way the Windows NSP architecture works is that when a name lookup is requested, Windows passes the name to all the plugins so they can take action as necessary. In the case of dot-local name lookups, the mDNS plugin gets called which issues the mDNS query and it usually gets the response within a few milliseconds, and then it passes its results back up to Windows. However, Windows doesn't pass these results back to the client application until the Windows built-in DNS resolver has timed out, which normally takes around 2 seconds. So unfortunately, I don't know of any way to get around this, but now that you mention it, I wonder if this delay is caused by NetBIOS queries, and not by DNS queries.
Thanks for that Marc. I have confirmed that disabling NetBIOS over TCP/IP stops windows from issuing the NBNS queries, and wait time for the page refresh drops from the approx. 3 secs to around 1sec. I guess mac osx naturally doesn't implement a NetBIOS name server either and therefore has the same issue when working with windows? _______________________________________________ avahi mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/avahi
