    Hiya folks

    This is my virgin post so not sure exactly where this would belong to but moderators, feel free to move this post to the appropriate section if necessary.

    Anyway, I was using Logmein free version and noticed that each time I click on anything on my remote computer (ie. open web browser, open up Windows Explorer), my Zone Alarm pops up saying that it's trying to reach Logmein's server at port 1152 (this is on the computer that I am physically at)... I click on the DISALLOW button and my remote experience continues on; however, I did notice that my session would timeout rather quickly if I don't continuously "surf" my remote computer (ie. if I were to stop moving the mouse if I'm on the phone, it would time out within minutes as opposed to the 30mins I've set in the preference section).

    Anyone know why the session needs to report back to Logmein servers each time like that?
