NlaSvc accessing internet

[JMsr51]

Is there any way to stop the NlaSvc from trying to automatically access www.msftncsi.com? I have identified the NlaSvc as the culprit of creating system log audit events for trying to access the internet to connect to this site on a secured, non-internet facing network, and I need to get it to stop.

Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Seven forums.

If you want to stop this, try the steps mentioned here:
Windows 7 Network Awareness: How Windows knows it has an internet connection « Super User Blog

But this activity is harmless.

I'll give that a try, thank you.
