I found the following message in my Console log: 2/28/09 11:47:30 AM mDNSResponder[22] NOTE: Wide-Area Service Discovery disabled to avoid crashing defective DNS relay 192.168.1.1:53 I am using OSX 10.5.6. Do I have a bad router? I have been having a problem in that I can't share my printer with another computer in the house. Thanks, MBJ

I tried entering the command but I got a reply that said bash lookupd command not found (or something like that).
Some more info: my firewall is set to essential services only and Little Snitch allows mDNSResponder to UDP connections.

From source http://hackaddict.blogspot.com/2008/04/lookupd-flushcache-in-os-x-leopard.html
It may be "sudo lookupd --flushcache"
OR
"sudo dscacheutil -flushcache"
I do not have a Mac. Does the info that I found help you?

Thanks for pointing me to the Australian forum. The poster there said basically ignore the message.
