Uh. Fedora 8 is archaic and not supported anymore by the Fedora
Project. Heck, even Fedora 9 is not supported anymore:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/End_of_life

It is really not recommended to run old unupported versions of
distributions and software. This is both a security risk and also
makes it very hard for us upstream to respond to questions, since that
version is really very very old.

The PA vesion for windws does not support zeroconf. The port was very
minimal and not kept up to date.

I'll take the liberty to ignore this disclaimer blurb. You shouldn't
be posting anything on an ML if this is meant seriously.
