MDNS not working

[orbitcoms]

I am working through the video MDNS and find the name service is not working as per the video.

Firstly, if I do not add an include for mdns in my code, the compiler does not recognise the functions.

Next, I add the include and compiile but when I run the code and ping my_esp32, the url is not found.
I can enter the url in browser 192.168.1.106 and get my hello world text ok but no response to http://my-esp32.local

hi @orbitcoms
2 things to check.

1. is the function being called? I cant see from the screen shot.
2. are you checking it with a phone or a pc. phones don't support MDNS

The function gets called and I am using PC to connect to the device.
It has worked in the past from my office PC but had troubles in weekend at home.
