I have disabled checking for updates in preferences, but PD still wants to connect to parallels.com on port 80 on each startup. this behavior existed in V4 and exists in V5. I have not authorized PD to connect to the Internet anywhere (although VMs can and do) and I don't want it to attempt a connection without my asking it to. How do I prevent it from trying short of a firewall rule (my current solution)? Is this a bug, or is it really designed this way? In either case, it needs to stop. thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide. Joe MBP C2D 4gig V5.0.9220
