Hi All,

I was in error in my last email. In fact, DNSSD.browse is returning  
the result as expect. instead, DNSSD.resolve is not returning any  
response when the [ dns-sd -L "Denis's MacBook Air" _ssh._tcp local ]  
command line tool returns the response as expected.

Here is the commandline response:
_____
Don-Levan-x-392:~ donl$ dns-sd -L "Denis's MacBook Air" _ssh._tcp local
Lookup Denis's MacBook Air._ssh._tcp.local
11:04:13.345  Denis's\032MacBook\032Air._ssh._tcp.local. can be  
reached at Deniss-MacBook-Air.local.:22

Here is what my script looks like:
________

#!/usr/bin/env ruby -wKU

require 'rubygems'
require 'dnssd'



class DNSResolver

   def resolve
     puts "resolving"

     resolver = DNSSD.resolve("Denis's MacBook Air", "_ssh._tcp",  
"local") do |resolve_reply|
       puts "Resolve Result: #{resolve_reply.inspect}"
     end

     puts "Resolver Started"
     sleep 30
     resolver.stop
     puts "Resolver Stopped"

   end

end

resolve_reply = DNSResolver.new.resolve
_____

This is the response from I get in textmate:
_________

RubyMate r8136 running Ruby r1.8.6 (/System/Library/Frameworks/ 
Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby) >>> dnssdbrowse.rb
resolving
Resolver Started
Resolver Stopped
Program exited.




Thanks again for any help.
