Looking into the log files for DX I found that the dpnet.dll is not registering

I did a google search on the error code 0x80004005 and found this

Basically it is stating that the file is not in the registery....I think. maybe some one else has a better idea.
This dll is the DirectPlay8 TCP/IP service provider
If I change the value of dpnet.dll from "native,bulltin" to bulltin it fails completely. As long as it is Native or native,bulltin it works (halfway)
I still don't know why it is complaining about .net though
