I don't recall when it happened, by my firewall said "oi, what's this thing trying to do?". I've done about 30 CFB installs, and have variously said "allow" or "don't allow" depending on what I was testing at the time (I was one of the beta testers). It didn't seem to make any difference. I suspect it's just CFB trying to "phone home" for some reason.
That said, it wasn't me who was having the original problems, I was just observing that your earlier comment was perhaps glossing over the difference between "needing internet access" and "trying to get internet access".
