This call is made from the c-ares library, not wireshark itself. 
According to MSDN
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms738520%28VS.85%29.aspx, see
blurb near bottom on older versions of Windows) to use this function on
Windows < XP SP2 requires one to include ws2tcpip.h and Wspiapi.h before
using the function.  This then uses an in-line copy of the function if
the system dll doesn't include it.  This would mean building our own
copy of c-ares.

As all MS support for W2K ceases on 13 July 2010
(http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/search/default.aspx?sort=PN&alpha=Windows+2000&Filter=FilterNO)
is this worthwhile?
