`ssh seanlaptop.local` is much better then having to ping broadcast or log into the router :)
- sigjuice 6y agoAs mentioned, they can't reach each other over IP so they are not on the same subnet (e.g. I prefer NAT for my VMWare Fusion VMs). mDNS has not been reliable in my experience, even between a collection of macOS and Linux systems. Also, the OpenBSD and musl libc resolvers don't even speak mDNS.
