JRS,
Yes, that thought did occur to me this morning. I have my NAS set to use the NIST.gov site, but I notice that the NAS still seems to phone home to Netgear sometimes anyway; perhaps when NIST is overloaded.
Excellent point. I will re-enable the NAS shortly!
Best,
Duncan

How is the NAS set to update it's time?

I believe the default is for it to sync with a time server at Netgear,
which would cause the WWW access.   :)

Bino,
Please excuse me. Apologies. I have searched and found a newer version of
the UM for my router. Correct. It appears that my router DOES allow me to
use MAF for my wired clients. I re-confirmed this in the router's MAF
set-up page this morning.

I also notice that since I dis-abled my Printer and NAS from outbound
access, the router is logging each time either device attempts to (I
assume) connect to the WWW.  Now, I am trying to figure out why either of
these two appliances would need to speak with anything beyond the
router/gateway.
The mystery (minor!) continues.
Best,
Duncan
