Imagine my surprise when, on loading, my Sygate firewall caught Napster connecting to an apple.com server...
Napster client is trying to connect to a1.phobos.apple.com using remote port 80...
No idea. Really weird, though, unless there is a simple explanation I've missed. Which is highly likely, but now maybe you'll fill me in.|||112586883536383306|||Napster connects to Apple?9/04/2005 06:07:07 PM|||reversial|||Hmm.
