GnuCash 2.1.2 directions

[Patrik Lermon]

I could not see any communication with 68.142.91.87, or any other external
IP during a first setup and running of gnucash-2.2.1.

I did a fresh install of Windows XP, installed Wireshark and started to capture
packages. Then I ran the gnucash-2.2.1 intallation while capturing.

Installation went fine, I stopped capturing, and when I checked the packets
that Wireshark had cought. I could not see the IP 68.142.91.87, or any other
suspicious IP address.

I continued to capture packets and ran the newly installed gnucash-2.2.1
for the very first time, went through the druid for new accounts, saved and
exited the program. Neither this time I could see any suspicious IP in the
Wireshark capture.

If the program was infected with a trojan/virus/worm/whatever, it could
of course choose to run randomly, but personally I suspect that your
connection to 68.142.91.87 came from another program.
