About Bonjour

The Bonjour for Windows package provides Bonjour zero-configuration networking services for
use by Windows applications such as iTunes, Safari and AirPort Utility.

Bonjour enables computers and devices to automatically discover each other using industry
standard IP protocols without the need to manually enter IP addresses or configure DNS servers.
It is particularly useful for connecting to devices such as the iPhone, Apple TV, and AirPort base
stations.

System requirements

Bonjour for Windows supports Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, but we strongly recommend
either:
* Windows XP Service Pack 3
* Windows Vista Service Pack 2
* Windows 7
Use Windows Update to make sure you have the latest Service Pack installed for your computer.

Firewall requirements

The Bonjour networking protocol sends and receives network packets on UDP port 5353. If you
have a "personal firewall" enabled, you will need to ensure that UDP port 5353 is open for
Bonjour to work correctly. Certain firewalls will only partially block Bonjour packets, so if you
experience intermittent behavior, check the firewall settings and verify that Bonjour is listed as
an exception and is allowed to receive incoming packets.

The Bonjour installer will configure the Windows firewall appropriately during installation on
supported systems.

Known Issues

A small number of Virtual Private Network (VPN) clients interfere with Bonjour. If you find that
you can no longer discover network services, try logging out of VPN.

More information

Bonjour is commonly installed by third-party software to provide zero-configuration networking

capabilities to various applications.

Developers can download the Bonjour SDK to add Bonjour technology to their applications. For
