-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I do not know what exactly OOo does that alerts your Firewalls (I have only the Mac-Version and cannot test other OSes). But it could be possible that OOo just opens a local loopback connection (to / from localhost) for some functionality (e.g. Base). Such a connection would not be able to send or receive any data from outside your computer, but it is considered as a network connection by your firewalls anyway.
To verify what kind of connection your OOo really sets up, please send the exact message of your firewall. Please try to find out, to which IP address does the connection go, which ports are opened. If your message does not provide this information, try to read your firewall's logfiles, look for a button indicating 'Details' or something similar.
