I would suspect that the weather docklet in OD is calling home for a weather update. You sure it's not the docklet downloading bank account and social security information? LOL - it would cost more in electricity to run the

Ahh, ok. That makes sense - I should have thought about that. Thanks!

ObjectDock or IconPackager making TCP connections to 38.99.229.8/15:80 in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

I just installed PeerGuardian and it alerted me that a TCP connection is being made from my PC to both 38.99.229.8:80 and 38.99.229.15:80 - both are identified as "Stardock Corporation." I'm only running ObjectDock and IconPackager, so I assume that it's one of them making the TCP connection. What are these IP's used for, and what info is being transmitted? Thanks!

I'll do a complete virus scan also. Man, oh, man...

Thanks, ChinaCat - I love OD, so I guess I'll have to put up with these annoyances if I'm to be a loyal fan. But, there must be some OD "power users" out there who can help us?!?!

500 points to anyone who can help me with any of these ObjectDock 0.99a related problems: 1) "Left-click-and-hold" on folder or drive icons no longer shows a pop-up directory listing. Worked about a week ago, now no more. 2) Right-clicking on the recycle bin does not bring up options to explore it or to empty it - the only option is "Dock item properties." This has never worked for me in any version of OD. 3) The (really great!) XML Weather docklet has worked perfectl
