I've noticed that when my laptop is at home (not at work) the wireless connection is dropped periodically.
This coincides with a log in the system console of:
Nov 25 13:00:09 bigmac netinfod local[33]: Cannot send multicall packet to 139.48.44.25: Host is down Nov 25 13:00:11 bigmac DirectoryService[45]: CNodeRegister:RegisterLocalNetInfoHierarchy::Call to netinfo_domainname for local domain name lasted 4 seconds. Nov 25 13:00:11 bigmac DirectoryService[45]: CNodeRegister:RegisterLocalNetInfoHierarchy::Call to netinfo_domainname returned domain name: /. Nov 25 13:02:31 bigmac mDNSResponder: NOTE: Wide-Area Service Discovery disabled to avoid crashing defective DNS relay 192.168.0.1. Nov 25 13:02:44 bigmac DirectoryService[45]: CNodeRegister:RegisterLocalNetInfoHierarchy::Call to netinfo_domainname for local domain name lasted 10 seconds. Nov 25 13:02:44 bigmac DirectoryService[45]: CNodeRegister:RegisterLocalNetInfoHierarchy::Call to netinfo_domainname returned domain name: /.
The IP address is of some server at my office... So I wonder what my mac is trying to do... and how to disable the task when I'm at home.
Maybe I need to take this to a mac discussion forum?
