Firewall on Mac was turned-off by default. I got the results ( published
earlier with/wihtout SLPD existence ) were tested when Firewall was
turned-Off.
I dont think this option applies to my case.

I can ping the entertainment device from my mac and  subnet mask for device
as well as Mac are set to same value. I am sure that my network settings are
properly set to communicate with device.

I've downloaded the Wireshark Tool from their website as per your advice and
able to capture the log in my network. Please find the attached log.

As am new to this tool ,  i could not  interpret/understand the results
shown in log. It would be great if you can help me to understand the issue.

My Mac IP : 192.168.1.97
Entertainment Device IP : 192.168.1.999

I've investigated further on the calls being made internally when
SLPFindSrvs is being called. I suspect that NetworkMcastRqstRply is unable
to communicate futher hence its not able to detect the SLP Service inabsence
of Slpd.

I am attaching the SLP Log for your reference.

Please provide your analysis on the reports i have provided.

Thanks in Advance.
