Yep. In ZA, allow Poser 4/PP access to the local network (for it's declared looking-for-copy-of-itself routine), but to Ask for access to the Internet - and guess what? It tries to access the Internet! P5 SR3 - with Content Paradise DISABLED entirely (it's not even loaded) - does exactly the same thing... Really these days the rational policy is to prohibit all apps whose primary function is not comm related from accessing the Internet, and then enable only after you notice non-functioning features. You have to assume that apps are more likely to call home than not. And the problem is the only reliable way to discover what they are trying to send is with a packet sniffer - which means you have to let it send it first to find out!
