I have a really strange problem that I can't seem to sort out.
Every few hours my MacPro stops seeing other computers and devices on the network and stops reporting its own services and existence on the network. AppleTV stops seeing the computer and can no longer play its media, other computers can't see it on the network etc, and visa versa.
The computer can still ping the other devices, access the internet etc, but it cannot access them the normal ways through finder etc. The only way to get it running properly again has been to reboot.
I can only assume that this is a problem with Bonjour as this is the service that is handles all of this.
Searching online leads to plenty of Bonjour problems on Windows but nothing really in MacOS, I guess because it is such an intergal part of the OS. I have taken screenshots of the processes screen while it is broadcasting correctly and after it stops and cannot see any difference in the processes running (other than a few that I started myself like Safari so I could get online to search for answers).
Has anyone come across this problem before? I have never seen anything like it and I am about to just back it all up and re-install, but I don't want to do that. Any help / advice would be great.
Just FYI I have run permission check and verify disk and nothing out of the ordinary turned up.
Thanks.
