You can use Bonjour directly via commands like the DNS Service Discovery tool (dns-sd). If you really want to get the IP though, here's a couple of options: Bonjour / dns-sd Make sure you include the ".local" suffix to get the Bonjour IP, otherwise your DNS look-up might auto-append some other hostname suffix (depending on your network/DHCP configuration) or simply fail to find the right host. It's at the top of the page, with a message like " Computers on your local network can access your computer at: Kens-Computer.local"
You can see the computer's network name if you go to the Sharing preference pane in System Preferences. So you can just type vnc://Kens-Computer.local in the 'Connect to' window. Kens-Computer.local or something like that, so depending on what you're trying to do, you might be able to just use that name rather than the IP. Your computers should be accessible as computer-name.local, e.g. If this is something Mountain Lion does, knowing that would be helpful, too! How can I find out the IP address of my other Mac, perhaps using Zeroconf/Bonjour? I'm fine with a command-line solution, if there's a simple one.ĮDIT: I'm running Lion, and I think that OS X screen sharing broadcasts a Bonjour service announcement for it, but Lion's connect-to-server dialog box doesn't take advantage of it. Surely my Mac already knows the IP address of my other Mac: in the Finder, I can see my other Mac's name and icon/type in the sidebar! Unfortunately, Get Info doesn't display the IP address, or anything else useful about it. My router assigns IP addresses using DHCP, which in general is a good thing, but it means if a machine gets restarted or a DHCP lease gets renewed, I don't know what IP address to connect to (without walking over to the other machine to find out). I have screen-sharing set up on one of them, so I can connect to it using command-K in the Finder with a vnc:// URL, and that works great. I have two Macs on the same network, both plugged into my internet router.
