Response to: Rendezvous ill accused probably.

"There were network problems initially, but by the end everything was working well (when you could get an IP address from DHCP). IOW, no rendezvous issues in a much heavier wireless network situation."


I was also at WWDC. One time I enabled Rendezvous in iChat, and the next thing I knew, the "mDNSResponder" Multicast DNS responder process was eating my PowerBook G4 17" CPU alive. 75% or thereabouts of the CPU was being eaten by this thing. I hate to say it, Stuart, but even if Rendezvous wasn't the cause of the problem with the network(s), it sure was a problem on my CPU. I immediately turned it off in iChat and things returned to normal.
