Today at work I was informed that my work laptop was “spamming” the network and bringing down cell relays. The network traffic sniffer identified the offending traffic as “Apple TV” related. So after some digging in iTunes (which I have installed only for Outlook calendar syncing with my iPhone) we disabled the “Look for Apple TVs” option, the “Look for Shared Libraries” option, the “Look for AirTunes ” option, and the “Look for iPhone and iTouch Remotes” option. As you can guess all that “looking” creates a lot of broadcast network traffic. So, if you don’t want a stressed Network Engineer coming to your desk at work wonding what you’re doing to his network, I recommend that you disable the Bonjour service all together. <\/p>\n
Go to Start-> All Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Services, select “Bonjour Service”, right-click, go to “Properties”, set the “Startup type” to “disabled” and then click the “Stop” button. Trust me, your friendly neighborhood Network Engineer will thank you for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
