Just to let you know that I got the mDNS_Web_Server example working today after a software update. The sketch now reacts both on the IP number as on esp8266.local.
I tried several software updates in the past weeks, but the sketch refused to work till today, after the following software update:
- Arduino 1.6.3 from the Arduino site
- igrr's esp8266 software installed acc. https://github.com/sandeepmistry/esp8266-Arduino
Don't know at what software version the bug was fixed, but it works now !
For reference the original post is kept below.

Hi,
The ESP8266 environment in Arduino really works excellent, and igrr provides excellent support, kudos !
The mDNS example provided is only partly working for me.
- The sketch compiles, upload and runs OK.
- When I point my browser to the IP number of the ESP the ESP responds as expected with "Hello from ESP8266 at 192.168.1.100".
- But when I point the browser to http://esp8266.local, the ESP does not respond, no output in the Serial monitor.
I'm on Mac 10.10.2 with Safari as browser, so no additional steps should be required. Also used Chrome without success.
Also used the App Bonjour Browser, but the ESP is not seen as Bonjour device.
Anyone having success with this example on a Mac?
