[SOLVED] Lazarus Program attempts to access the internet

[Swirl]

Hello,

when I run a program (in IDE) the program attempts to access the internet on occasion.
(told so by comodo firewall) This happens on different (win7)machines. Is this correct -
Maybe justified by settings I have overlooked?

Thanks in advance,
Swirl - aka Mike

Lazarus 1.4.0 · FPC 2.6.4

I had awful experience running Lazarus (it was GDB actually) under Comodo. I've finally got tired of fighting Comodo with each Lazarus upgrade and replaced Comodo with Zone Alarm Free, no problems since.
P.S. Maybe it's trying to go for online help?

Or may be it is searching for updates.

What does your program do? And can you see what URL is trying to connect to?

Thanks Eugene, thanks Ñuño,

@ Eugene: I don't think I'd blame it to Comodo but i I'll act on your suggestion to disable
the debugger when the attempt occurs. We'll see if that's the course...

@ Ñuño: yeah it's accessing 224.0.0.252. The Vistaheads (ok, I got Win7) forum said:
"224.0.0.252 is a multicast address limited to your local subnet. It could be your Vista
computer is using Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution (LLMNR) to find other computers
on the local network. LLMNR broadcasts use this IP address."
Because my code definitely does not perform any web access, I guess Eugene is on the
right way concerning the debugger.

Unfortunately the information about this multicast does not cover an answer to my question...
