About GlobalHostName.com

Put a couple of Macs on a network, turn on a service like File Sharing on one and instantly the other Macs know about it. This is a service discovery protocol called Bonjour at work. Bonjour can be found in software such as iTunes, which uses it to find shared music libraries and in devices such as network printers that announce their presence to print utilities.
