Zone alarm says internet activity is working. if you stop all internet activity Diskeeper wont work. Anyone know why DK9 needs internet to defrag?

Are you sure that it is actually "phoning home"? What is the remote IP address in question?

The reason that I ask this is, I've noticed on a stock W2K system, starting up Disk Management triggers ZA's "internet activity".. apparently some part of Windows' communicates with the disk management service or something using networking protocols.

It could just be Diskeeper using the same interfaces, and thus triggering the same behaviour.
