mdnsnsp.dll by bonjour

Hi!

I recently downloaded the iTunes 5.0 and got this DLL inside my system.

mdnsnsp.dll

it is located inside C:\Program Files\Bonjour

with the following files

dnssd.dll

dns-sd.exe

mdnsNSP.dll

mDNSResponder.exe

Are these necessary for Itunes to be running?

Because I do not want it accessing the internet from time to time.

It's part of the Air-tunes and music sharing. Problem is, even if you dont use these, it still installs. I managed to install without them, but iTunes complains each time it runs.

Guess te best thing is to block them at your firewall if you dont use these functions.

Thanx

I think I gotta FW them as you say ...

The other option is disable the service using the services manager. I set it to 'disabled', and iTunes ran happily without complaining and without this service running.

Thanx!

But although the service is disabled, many of the progs still want to utilize the "mdnsnsp.dll" according to Outpost FW.

I think I'll just uninstall it and see how it works.
