It is the ability of a computer to find out about computers and other devices that offer services on the network.

One is the Finder, which displays a list of computers you can connect to when you select Connect to Server. Another is Printer Setup Utility, which displays a list of available printers in the Printer List window.

They are AppleTalk, Bonjour, SLP, and SMB. Use Directory Access to enable or disable the protocols the computer uses for services discovery.

If you disable a service discovery protocol, Open Directory does not use it for service discovery on the computer. However, other network services may still use the protocol.

You should check DirectoryService.error.log and DirectoryService.server.log.

No, SMB browsing in Mac OS X is limited to discovering workgroups and shared computers on the subnet.

You would use Server Message Block (SMB).
