[SOLVED] Why is LibreOffice accessing the network?

[ghmitch]

Everytime I open a file LibreOffice is sending data out over the network and the file does not open until that data send ceases. The length of time to send the data roughly corresponds with the size of the file.

Does the file have a macro in it?

Did you download libreoffice from the Mageia repos?

24.122.0.0 - 24.122.63.255 belongs to COGECO Cable Canada Inc., 4141 boul. St-jean, Trois-Riviera, Quebec

Libreoffice headless needs network. it's document converter can use online conversion over network hosted documents,if you need to convert like ms format to odf.

He doesn't run headless, and network access is obviously required if you want to setup a headless listener that accepts conversion jobs from remote boxes via network. Not necessary if you only convert locally.

The documents in question contained a huge number of links and remote images. That explains it all. Thanks guys. I should have figured it out. I feel pretty stupid over this one.
