Periodic Warning Messages

[4eveRed]

Hello, I've had an XDA II for a couple of days and GPRS is working fine when I want to access the Internet. However from time to time, I get a warning box telling me that the XDA cannot connect to the network, even though I've not requested to do so.

I can only conclude from this that a program running in the background is trying to access the internet. Does anyone know how I can check what is causing this connection attempt?

Thanks in advance.

I got the same problem. Unable to find out which program is trying to access internet. Any advice for tools that can help out?

Thanks.

Thanks. I think this is the s/w I am really looking for.

By the way, 4eveRed, I have found the culprit. It was my XDA2 built-in email account which I accidentally configure to connect to internet every 15 mins.
Check that none of your accounts is configured that way.
Accounts->Accounts->GMail (in my case)->Setup->User Info->Account Info->Server Information Options
