I've been trying Linux on and off for a couple of years. My first experience with Linux was with a version of Slackware (can't remember) way back in 1996. At the time the installation was so daunting that I gave up all together. For a little background I consider myself a proficient computer user.

Why does it try to go on the Internet, when you disabled that option?
I've personaly deactivated all "go on the Internet"-options and my firewall still catches WMP in trying.
If it tries to update CDDB or some something that, I think it is a strange time to do so. After playback of a home made avi, wav, mp3 or other media?
Don't get me wrong, I use WMP9 only too playback videos, it's just annoying and suspect that it don't get the whole don't go to the Internet-thing.
"I don't know about Netmax Firewall (never used it), but I do know that Borland's Kylix v3 for Linux has Product Activation built in ... seems this trend is not just a Microsoft thing afterall. "
Did I ever say that it was a Microsoft-only thing?
