#7625: Bonjour support does not work on Vista x64
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  mrmatt9595     |     Owner:  datallah
     Type:  defect         |    Status:  new     
Component:  Bonjour        |   Version:  2.5.2   
 Keywords:  bonjour,vista  |  
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Summary:[[BR]]
 The Vista system cannot detect any other Bonjour chat-using systems on the
 network, even though others can see the Vista system, and cannot send or
 receive messages.

 My setup:[[BR]]
 I have four systems: two WinXP, one FreeBSD, and the Vista system. All
 systems have no firewall enabled, and run the latest Bonjour for Windows
 (or Avahi) and the latest Pidgin 2.5.2. The WinXP systems and the FreeBSD
 system can each communicate amongst each other without issues, each of the
 three can see the Vista system, and all can resolve the mDNS name of each
 of the others. However, the Vista system cannot see in Pidgin any other
 node or chat.

 The kicker:[[BR]]
 Miranda Local, a stripped-down version of Miranda with only Bonjour
 support, however, ''does'' work on the Vista system, including sight of
 other nodes and chat both ways, ruling out Apple's Bonjour as the cause of
 the problem.
