Subject:SF phoning home? Posted by: MarkusH Date:10/5/2002 4:55:15 PM Hi everyone, I just had SF6 close on me without any error (cubase sx and propellerhead reason were running alongside, but did before without problems). When I started SF again I checked netstat out of curiosity/paranoia (had the feeling there might be a trojan and someone closed the app on me for "fun"), what I found then though wasn't any connections to the outside except: TCP hdr:3022 stats.sonicfoundry.com:http HERGESTELLT (german OS, hence the german netbios names) Whats that about? #thanks Markus edit: SF closing comes from a plugin bug apparently (delaydots multiband pitchshifter, when moving sliders while on "preview", eventually SF will close down).

Hi everyone,
I just had SF6 close on me without any error (cubase sx and propellerhead reason were running alongside, but did before without problems).
When I started SF again I checked netstat out of curiosity/paranoia (had the feeling there might be a trojan and someone closed the app on me for "fun"), what I found then though wasn't any connections to the outside except:

TCP hdr:3022 stats.sonicfoundry.com:http HERGESTELLT
(german OS, hence the german netbios names)

Whats that about?

#thanks

Markus
