Hi guys, my windows xp virtual machine is throwing up this spurious 
error.

DNSAgent.exe failed to load component.
The application failed to start because DNSSD.dll could not be found.

Has any one encountered this?
I'm running vmFusion 3 with the current vmware tools installed.  My guest OS is 
windows xp pro sp3.

I've tried re-installing the network driver.  That didn't work.  I've tried 
re-installing vmware tools, nothing doing. I've tried crying but this computer 
never has been known for a sympathetic bent.  I've tried google searching, and 
it seems that ODSAgent is some apple cd and dvd sharing business.  
Unfortunately that was the most useful thing I got.  Everything else was 
registry cleaners and dll download sites, most of which looked even sketchier 
than trying to muddle along without dns support on windows.

Just to see what would happen, I pinged google on the mack side and got the 
current IP address for www.google.com.  When I put the ip address into firefox 
in my windows vm it gives me the google homepage, so I have internet access, 
but apparently DNSSD.dll is part of something windows uses to resolve dns and 
so as long as I have the website's IP address I can connect, but if I just type 
in a www, it doesn't go.

If any one has suggestions on how to fix this, my appreciation would know no 
bounds.
Thanks,
