Stanislav--

My guess is that you are using some version of Windows.

There is a known oddity in Windows (Windows, mind you--not Gnucash) that causes Windows to display the behavior you are describing. As I no longer use Windows (except under duress), I can only dimly recall that the problem has to do with how Windows handles requests to Localhost. Under other operating systems, Localhost is automatically assigned to address 127.0.0.1, but under Windows, you have to manually add it yourself. It's documented in the mailing lists of the past, but you have to find your HOSTS file and make sure the right modifications are made.


See: http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2010-December/037648.html and following discussion.

Hello,

    Can't find an answer on my question.
    Why GnuCash is trying to connect to remote address during loading?
    In my case that is a bug, because I can't use program if I don't have an Internet connection.

Thank you.

-- Best regards
