    somewhere have you enabled the crl revocation checking - then the ms apps like word and excel are checking for revoked crl - form your email -

    if you have installed a personal firewall it would be much eaisier to investigate -

    please post more info

    Subject: Some abnormal behavior when opening excel and word files ..

    Hi guys,

    I have a problem with a site ..

    When the PC is connected to the LAN, opening local Excel and Word files
    take abnormally long time .. disabling the AV does not make a difference
    .. and a lot of SYNs are shown to the Verisign IPs of crl.verisign.com ..
    198.49.161.200 - 198.49.161.205 - 198.49.161.206

    However, if the Network cable is disconnected, the Excel and Word files
    open faster ... with no connections attempted to crl.verisign.com ..

    Anyone have any idea what could be the cause ?

    Thanks in advance ..

    Naren
