.local is a concept of multicast DNS. If the host.local speaks
mDNS, it should be responding to those replies for itself. This
works find for a small shared LAN. <br>
<br>
If you have a distributed / firewalled network that isn't passing
mDNS between segments, that is probably causing your problem. In
this situation, don't use ".local".<br>
