Schick can't find the other Macs in the network! (Help! Mac A can "see" Mac B, but Mac B can't "see" Mac A)

Answer 1

Please check with Tildesofts Bonjour Browser! If it also doesn't show any peers, it's most likely your WiFi doesn't support multicasts the way it should. This happened to Heiko too, and he solved it by installing a firmware update and enabling multicast and IGMP Snoop[1] on his TP-Link Router. Unfortunately it didn't work for long...WiFi & Bonjour seems to be a bit of a problem. I hate to admit it: Cheap WiFi Access Points are just crap. If you want to use Bonjour over WiFi, buy a good one (Cisco, Ubiquiti)!

Answer 2

Please try again over Ethernet, and if that works out, make sure your WiFi supports Bonjour...

Answer 3

Switch to Ethernet. No, really. Your Bonjour-related problems (with Schick, Airprint, iTunes Sharing etc.) will be gone!

Answer 4

It might be caused by a haywired firewall setting. Just remove all incoming connection connections, stop your firewall, reboot, start your firewall.
