Interesting! This is one of the factor that affects the startup time of OOo. IMHO, checking DNS or connecting to Internet at start is not a good thing to do. Users can do that later for they want to check for version update, cliparts or something. We should do it with users' acknowledgment, i.e, simply popups a windows and ask if OOo can connect to the Internet. -- Best Regards, Nguyen Hung Vu ( Nguyễn Vũ Hưng ) [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, YIM: vuhung16 , Skype: vuhung16dg Japan through an eye of a gaijin: http://www.flickr.com/photos/vuhung/tags/fav/
