ProTools attempts network connections

[wdjudd]

When I launch ProTools 10.3 . . . just after it shows the Quick Start Window . . . I get the following dialog box:
"Do you want the Application "ProTools.app" to accept incoming network connections? Click Deny or Allow

Has anyone else had this issue? I would like to NOT have this happen every time I launch ProTools . . . very annoying.

You would not like to be asked or you dont' want it accepting inbound connections?

This is standard OS X firewall behavior, you can avoid being asked by adding the app permissions/settings in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall options.

I went into Sys Prefs/Security/Firewall/Advanced, with the + I added ProTools and then selected "Block Incoming Connections". However, even after I have restarted, I still get the same dialog box so this did not stop this action but I appreciate your response.

My other questions is . . .why has this started to happen with PT 10.3? I never saw this before the latest update to 10.3, never in any previous versions of PT? Has anyone else had this problem? If so . . . how did you turn it off? Thanks.

Something is broken in OS X. Start by trashing the firewall prefs as mentioned here http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20026347-263.html

Thanks Darryl . . . trashing the firewall prefs fixed the problem. I tried searching on this problem both on the DUC and Google but with no luck. Thanks again.
