David, Who is doing generating the initiating packet (i.e. which machine is doing the query)? Are there any other programs up and running? If not, the DNS Querys are very suspicious. There are WinSock socket Tracing programs out there that can identify what application is opening up the socket. I tried to find one of these programs but havent had any luck. This would tell you if WORD is involved in the conversation. The trace will tell you much more, but generally DNS Queries do not function as "Keep-Alive" packets. They normally are manually engaged by user events. That is why its suspicious. Toy
