FWIW: I'm running 2 legal copies of OfficeX on an iMac and a PM over an Asante network. On the iMac when I quit it gives me a quick "connecting to printer" message. It's fast, so I'm not positive of the text. On the PM I never have seen this, but may be just because it's faster. I rarely use Little Snitch as I'm still running the demo version (Sorry! Just haven't gotten to it yet) and seldom reboot.

I've always been puzzled by the message as I don't use a network printer, but print through the PM USB.

Hmmm, just ran little switch, then quit Word on the iMac and no message at all, nor complaint from LS. Strange.

something on your internal network. It wants to know if it is alone.... I think this is serial number checking. Is that the address of another computer on your network?

Try making a rule blocking that address.

This is the message I just got: The application "Microsoft Word" wants to connect to 192.168.1.107 on TCP port 3888
