I can’t find Chimera with Bonjour.
Check to ensure that all network firewalls are disabled. If
hardware firewalls or other filtering devices are present on the
network between Chimera and the client system, try moving
Chimera to a new network location that is not filtered by these
devices. Alternately, access Chimera using its default network
settings listed at right.
If you can see Chimera in Bonjour but cannot connect, ensure
that your network settings are compatible with Chimera’s
defaults.
