Does mDNS work on ESP32?

[camebe2019]

Hello
Tried to use mDNS and I get a error.

#include <ESPmDNS.h>

After WiFi.begin connected I run the mDNS

if (!MDNS.begin("myName"))
error.....

I do not get an error so it must be running yet when I try and connect to "myName.local" does not work and I get a error "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED".

I also cannot connect to the local IP assigned by the router 192.168.0.x which I can connect to if I comment out mDNS.

Does this or is this supposed to work on ESP32 ?

thanks
CzB

Thanks I have re done mine to be exactly the same as that and it still does not work !.

I must assume it would be an unreliable way of doing things even if I managed to now get it to work and will look for other options.
Thanks

Did you spot the requirement that the PC also needs to be running mDNS?
