I would like to access my MKR1000 board via a browser using a named URL instead of a IP address. I cannot get the MDNS_WebServer.ino example sketch working. The url http://wifi101.local/ is printed out in the serial monitor as what I should use for a browser.
The http://wifi101.local/ doesn’t work, but http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ (where I use the printed out IP address) does.
I’m going nuts trying to google this. I have one windows 10 machine with bonjour installed, another windows 10 machine w/o bonjour, my iphone, and my ipad. None of these devices can load http://wifi101.local/.
I would like to get mdns working.
Hi mbeddo,
While we are not going to be able to help out too much since this is not our library, I do have one suggestion that might lead you to a fix. Try running the [Firmware Version example from the WiFi101 library and see if it prompts you to update the firmware on your MKR1000. It should be running a firmware version that is compatible with the library but if not, follow the instructions to update the firmware in the [Firmware Updater tutorial from Arduino.
Hopefully, that fixes the issue. If not, double check that you are setting up “WiFi.begin()” for the correct network encryption type. If you continue to have issues, let us know and we can try and troubleshoot further.](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/FirmwareUpdater)](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/CheckWiFi101FirmwareVersion)
