I remember seeing a post on the moon-net or vhf reflectors about this problem WAY back and someone posted that there is a way to kill the "probing" by changing one of the registry settings. I do not remember which Windoz was involved in the discussion but I do remember saving the thread in my "to look at later" bin. Will see if I still have it.
