Re: gotomypc

And finally, from their own web site:

         Should you believe it necessary to prevent the GoToMyPC
         service from accessing your company computers,
         simply block access to the host poll.gotomypc.com.
         This will prevent anyone from starting a connection to access any
         computer inside your firewall.

Name: poll.gotomypc.com
Address: 63.251.224.177

Thanks,
