Hi, Over the weekend I had a problem with the diald connection to the internet being made every 3 minutes. It turned out that 2 users had installed RealPlayer G2 on their PCs. Part of the new RP is a utility called SmartStart. It was this that was making the connection to (I assume) a RealPlayer server ever 2-3 minutes. Disabling the SmartStart feature cured the problem. I've not installed RPG2 on my PC but if/when I do I'll see if there's a better way to stop it bringing the link up. BTW, the connection SmartStart tries to make it to port 80 of 209.66.98.23. An nslookup of this address gives host023.a-308.98.66.209.in-addr.arpa. I tried telnetting into port of this address but I got a connection refused message. Hope this helps someone with the same problem! Regards, Iain Iain F.
