Re: Firewall blocking msgs from Microsoft (Foldershare)

Although its assignee does not have reverse DNS on address 65.55.24.40 it
is in one of Microsoft's netblocks and those connection attempts were only
to FolderShare TCP/IP service ports, so I would presume those connection
attempts were both proper and benign.

CIDR: 65.52.0.0/14
NetName: MICROSOFT-1BLK

Neither FolderShare staff nor documentation have explained the benefits, if
any, from allowing incoming connections. I run the program both with and
without those and I never notice any difference in performance.
