Is the "2222" correct, or should it be "222"? <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />
Is this network check one that just checks the local lan for other copies with the same registration or does it somehow report back to micro$oft? I'd be damn annoyed if Micro$oft was spying on our computers without telling us (and not just some small lettering in the EUA).
Also, what's the terminal command to see what applications are using what port and is there a way to track it as it changes so you can see when an app does a quick check?

Not exactly what you are loooking for, but I can highly recommend Brickhouse. It is neat, and you can easily view logs etc.

Don't need no stinkin' terminal. Just use the Network Utility (inside the Utilities folder in your Applications folder). The function you want is called Port Scan. You can find it in the rightmost tab of the Network Utility.
Never mind. I just realized there is an actual Network Utility. I see the tab you're talking about, but how will scanning port 222 diable Office from using it?

Remember, Bogie, that the command you posted will only work until you reboot because the firewall settings get flushed out when you shut down.
Waaaaiiit a second... Bogie started the other thread too! You spammer!!
