but why would you want to block quake4 from contacting the auth server anyway?

Well, the point here is that the executable manages to connect to the internet even though I've told norton it can't have internet access. There are a lot of situations where you want to keep applications from accessing the internet (spyware, virus etc).

Therefore it interests me how the q4 exe manages to get a connection. If it can connect to the internet then other applications might as well.
