### Windows
Infix advertises a `_workstation._tcp` DNS-SD record alongside its other
mDNS services. Windows 10 (build 1709+) and Windows 11 recognise this
record and show the device in **File Explorer → Network** automatically —
no extra software required.
From the command line, use the `.local` hostname directly:
```cmd
C:\> ping infix-c0-ff-ee.local
C:\> ssh admin@infix-c0-ff-ee.local
```
> [!NOTE]
> IPv6 multicast ping (`ping ff02::1%if1`) may not display responses on
> Windows even though the Infix device replies correctly. If you need to
> confirm connectivity, Wireshark will show the ICMPv6 echo replies
> arriving. Use mDNS (see [mDNS-SD](#mdns-sd) below) as the reliable
> alternative.
