Two interesting aspects to this 1st is that the dialing is being requested by Generic Host Process for Windows & if I block it I can't access the Internet. Anyway according to Zone Alarm shortly after I logged in, the above component was the one trying to dial the Internet. It is a catch-22 - say no & you don't get access - say yes & the durned think keeps dialling in after a log off. The frustration here is that Zone Alarm is touted as the best form of personal security but if I apply it I can't get normal access to the net. Turn Zone Alarm off & all seems ok.

Lock down the GHP long enough for windows to try to dial home, then later check the log to see where (IP and port) it was trying to connect to. You may be able to block access just to that port or IP and still be able to use GHP for normal connections. ~~~)-Steven---- "I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.
