gnucash connection to the internet

[Derek Atkins]

This isn't GnuCash -- This is OrBit, related to GConf.  It's a known
issue with Orbit and they are working on a solution.   See the
bug report:

> Perhaps you can answer a question. When starting Gnucash it asks for
> permission to access a DNS server on the internet. However, the address is
> different each time. Also some of the addresses seem to have nothing to do
> with gnucash. One of them is Microsoft's update site, another is a company
> called easynet. I have not been able to find out who the anther two are and
> there may be more. I, like a lot of people, would be nervous about entering
> personal information that could be transmitted across the web. I note that
> the program warns of a fault if permission is refused. Could you tell me who
> it is trying to contact and why?
