Strange Onenote interaction with norton firewall gog 4/9/2007 7:22:00 PM Once in a while when using onenote, (can't describe in what exact circumstances) I get a strange message coming from norton internet security; "Program alert Microsoft office onenote is attempting to listen for connections from other computers protocol ; TCP inbound" Then Norton ask me permission to create a firewall rule... When this happens, i'm not even connected to internet. My PC is not connected to any network. What is onenote trying to do ? Why would Onenote "attempt to listen for connections from other computers" ? Should i worry ?

Maybe i'm clicking on the help menu and onenote is trying to connect to microsoft database... But i'm not sure I don't know on what port either ; all i know from norton's message is that onenote is on TCP protocol inbound... Sorry i can't give you more precise information. Thanks for your help Ilya.
