The firewall I am using (on my laptop) is Tiny Personal Firewall
(http://www.tinysoftware.com/pwall.php) - it prompted me on whether or
not I would like to allow it to contact domestic.microsoft.com or not, I
set it to "Deny" and the install completed successfully. Needless to
say I'll keep that rule around until I have problems. :)

During my install of the Windows XP Plus! pack on Windows XP
Professional RTM (build 2600) it attempted to contact 207.46.230.220
(www.domestic.microsoft.com) on port 80, the guilty application was
c:\windows\system32\msiexec.exe - so apparently this tool hits M$FT
every time you run one of their (or all?) .msi files?
It attempted this during the install of the OS (I did an upgrade from a
beta copy) but I didn't write the information down at that time (I
should have...doh!) but I do recall it contacting a server on port 80,
and it is likely the same server.

So if you don't have web access you can't install and run Microsoft XP??
Also has anyone snooped this transfer and found what port etc.. the data
is going out on? And what IP the data is being sent to.
