Hiya,
Probably attempting to grab your locale to localise Windows Updates.
You might turn Windows Update off but that's just for show.
Cheers,
Luis.

What is Windows doing with my network when I'm not looking?
Here's the scenario:
I have XP running in Parallels on my MacBook, and I'm monitoring
network activity with Interarchy. As long as I don't run Mac net
apps and have the Internet connection turned off in Parallels,
Interarchy shows now net activity.
But as soon as I turn on the network connection with Parallels,
something in Windows insists on having lengthy conversations with a
server in Houston (location derived from dropping the IP in this
handy tool: <http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm?GetLocation>).
I've reviewed all of the currently active processes in Windows Task
Manager, and except for Revolution all processes come from EXEs
stored in /System32/, so I don't suspect trojan horses or viruses
at this time.
Any clues as to what in my XP system needs to keep chatting it up
with some server in Houston?
