Unfortunately not. Bonjour is a variant of mDNS which uses 224.0.0.251 
as its multicast address which is non-routable by design[1]. The nearest 
equivalent would be to use a multicast proxy and the PHO almost 
certainly can't do that.

But then, the PHO probably can't set up route redirection either.

It’s sorted now anyway, I got an 8 port switch from Amazon, TP-Link hobby
for just over £7, plugged it into port 2 on the Mesh box, works a treat,
and I can now Home Share just fine (so far!).

Sigh, I actually miss MacSOUP because it didn’t have a spell checker,
sometimes I really dislike the autocorrect feature - that was supposed to
be TP-Link ‘jobby’.

Yup, whoever thought of bloody AI in the first place anyway? ;-)

Beyond the early work in the 1950’s, I believe Arthur Clark first expressed the fictionalized AI concept with HAL.

...but then Dave thought better of it.

LOL, I must admit, I had thought it was older than that, perhaps Colossus
(the Forbin Projet) predated it, although might have been a similar period.

True AI has a degree of computing independence, anthropomorphism if you will. Colossus, ENIAC, and the computers of the 1940’s & 50’s did not have that. They were machines that did not function independently of programmed algorithm acting on data input.Colossus, if anything was a single purpose, limited use, programable computer. It was not “Turing-complete” with conditional response programing as most, if not all of today’s computers, and OSes.

AI today, particularly in the area of photographic image processing produces results which are independent of operator input.

Results which are independent of operator input always used to be called 
a bug. :-)

No, not *that* Colossus, this one:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus:_The_Forbin_Project

I know the Turin one well enough, and what it was used for, we were talking
about simply the idea of AI, fictional or fact doesn’t matter, either way
it’s an idea or concept.

Aah! A 1970 movie. I missed that one.

With a Selective Service number of 54, and having graduated from high school in 1966, for most of 1969, and 1970 I found myself engaged in a meditation in green, (...or was that olive drab), only to return to the mainstream and more college in 1971.

When I think Colossus my thinking goes to Bletchley Park, “Bombe”, Enigma, and Ultra.
