629665 2008-01-13 01:59:00 Bonjour, also known as zero-configuration networking, enables automatic discovery of computers, devices, and services on IP networks. Bonjour uses industry standard IP protocols to allow devices to automatically discover each other without the need to enter IP addresses or configure DNS servers. In order to provide a true zero-configuration experience, Bonjour requires that devices implement three essential things. These devices must be able to:

* Allocate IP addresses without a DHCP server.
* Translate between names and addresses without a DNS server.
* Locate or advertise services without using a directory server.

629666 2008-01-13 03:31:00 So...once I've discovered all I want, can I delete it or does it need to stay to run the LAN-ed stuff? SurferJoe46 (51)

Oddly, I don't see Bonjour running in the Task Manager...but it IS in the list of programs in Add/Delete.

Maybe it only gets called upon when there's LAN activity such as the wizard trying to install the PnP hardware?
