Guess: It's trying to resolve names and IP addresses for the host addresses it listens to. I run a local DNS server for my LAN, it handles all name resolutions rather than hosts files. Though each box with a static address has a hosts file for itself, but none of the other PCs are listed in it. For things like local web or mail serving, it really is the way to go. -- (This PC runs FC4, my others FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
