<a name="454e51dd"></a><b>Why does LameXP try to connect to the web-server at 'xyz.com' secretly?</b><br>
<br>
LameXP does NOT connect to any web-server secretly! Of course the 'Auto Update' feature of LameXP unavoidably<br>
has to connect to one of our update servers. However in no event LameXP will search for updates without your<br>
agreement. Also LameXP will NOT send any personal information to the update server. It won't even send your<br>
program version to the server. Instead the latest version number will be downloaded from the server first and<br>
will then be compared to your current version number on the local computer. Moreover all information obtained<br>
from the update server are protected with a digital signature (GnuPG) in order to prevent spoofing attacks.<br>
<br>
Note: As LameXP is a non-profit project, we cannot afford a huge server infrastructure. Therefore the update<br>
server may be overstrained or unavailable once in a while. As we need to be able to distinguish the case in<br>
which our server is failing from the case in which your local internet connection has a problem, LameXP will<br>
run a short connectivity test on your local system first. For this purpose LameXP contains a list of 64 known<br>
hosts, taken (mostly) from the well-known Alexa 'top 500 sites on the web' listing. LameXP will assume that<br>
your internet connection is working properly if a certain minimum number (currently four) of the known hosts<br>
is reachable. That's also the reason why you may notice LameXP is trying to connect to a "random" web-site.<br><br>

Sorry, there is no LameXP user manual (yet), but we have an extensive F.A.Q. document ;-)<br>
<br>
Please have a look at <b><a href="FAQ.html">FAQ.html</a></b>, it will probably answer your question!<br>
