Why do GNUCASH have to connect to the internet when it is started. What info is exchanged and why. I am very reluctant to expose my financial data to the outside wiorld.
- GnuCash's supporting libraries make loopback connections to a server on the local host to exchange information. Depending on the machine's configuration, that connection attempt might not be to the internal network interface, but mistakenly to the external network interface, but for the local machine, which would appear as an "internet" connection attempt. I'm guessing you're on Windows, where we've had reports that connections are attempted to a couple of specific IP addresses during the installation process; see <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363648#c21> and <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363648#c25>. This situation is still being debugged.
- More generally, you might find the gnucash-user mailing list to be a better avenue for help. Jsled 20:08, 18 September 2007 (EDT)
