Folks,
My network is flooded with junk packets from bonjour:
dr._dns-sd._udp.0.1.1.10.in-addr.arpa
All the discussions about uninstalling bonjour seem to be about windows, not OSX. How do I stop this service from running, or keep it from emitting these queries? I have 10.8.3.
Thanks!
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)
You can disable Bonjour advertising without also disabling DNS resolution by following the instructions linked below:

And it works in 10.8.3 as well Linc?
Thanks Linc, the network looks normal now, mac is running correctly. I gotsta dig into osx, "this is not your fathers unix"
Bonjour is important to the functioning of Macs on a network. Unless you're quite sure that it adversely affects network performance -- which I doubt -- I suggest you leave it alone.
Yeah except it also is installed and runs automatically (mind you even when you said NO) on all other operating systems as well. Reason why iTunes takes 10-15 minutes to start up, close, and begin a sync.
I have notifications sleeping from midnight till 11:59pm since I hate distractions. Recently (probably due to some update), Bonjour has started telling me about all sort of other computers in my workspace, none of which I am interested in knowing anything about. I just want to access the internet through the work network. Is turning off Bonjour safe for my purposes?
How do I uninstall or shut off bonjour
