Should MathKernel in Mathematica 4.2.1 be attempting to access the 
Internet?  Whenever I start the kernel, my software firewall ZoneAlarm 
Pro reports that MathKernel.exe is trying to access IP 63.240.76.19:DNS.

This is a single-user installation (not one running against license 
manager on a network) running under Windows XP.
