It is set to block all outgoing traffic from SE4 (if I don't play TCP/IP I don't need outgoing traffic). No problems for me here. What firewall are you using?
I have Norton Internet Security 2002 firewall and it has never deteced anything being sent out by SE4. If it did it would prompt me to ask if I wanted to block it or not.
I think SE4 just checks to see that various network components are in place just in case a tcp/ip game gets started up. Doesn't actually transmit.
