| Ah, you are very right. It isn't really Bonjour that's my issue, it's the other parts that I'm using. So I think changing how those function would help a lot.
Thanks,

Keep in mind that Apple provides Bonjour for Windows as well. You can find the downloads here: Networking - Downloads
I highly recommend using Bonjour for service discovery. It's extremely well architected. For service discovery, Bonjour is absolutely the best thing you can use regardless of operating system. When it comes to actually exchanging data you have a lot of choices, each with their advantages and disadvantages. Jens Alfke has already addressed most of that, so I won't repeat it here.
If you're having difficulty specifically regarding Bonjour, please ask those questions. From what I'm seeing in your posting(s) to this list, I don't see any issues that appear to be Bonjour related - the problems appear to all be after you've discovered the relevant network services and Bonjour is no longer involved.
In addition to Apple implementation of Bonjour for Windows, there are plenty of independent implementations of Bonjour for other (usually embedded) operating systems. Bonjour is completely open source and very portable.
