My vs2005 windows forms program is trying to access the internet at runtime. There is no network access in my code. Could it be due to the framework or the infragistics controls? I know that at build time the framework's license compiler tries to use dns or other internet access. Could this be happening at runtime also?

You could use Fiddler to find out:

Fiddler works somewhat for me. I so far can't run the instruction video on their site apparently because I use firefox and winamp. It's a microsoft owned site so this is typical I guess.

One major weasel phone homer is crl.verisign.com. I can't figure out what exactly is being verified yet, I think it's one of the signed assemblies. I need to track this down and kill it.

I believe in full consumer informed consent. I don't want to ship software that phones home, unless I tell the customer about it. The software should clearly and prominently state all internet ports used by the program and for what purpose.
 
crl = Certificate Revocation List

Control Panel-->Internet Options-->Advanced tab, Security
section:

Check for publisher's certificate revocation
