Getting an IP address is meaningless. Every message you send on the net
- WWW request, connection to your SMTP or POP3 server, FTP request,
anything - contains your IP address. If it didn't, the machine you're
talking to wouldn't know where to send its response.
Wasn't WGA Notifications collecting some data about your configuration
and sending that to MS?
