Hi Pat - actually, it doesn't appear to be checking for updates - it is trying to resolve the URL that is being passed into the Acrobat plug-in. So for example, if one passed in <http://urlnotreachable.com/test.pdf> - it would try to do a DNS query (UDP 53) on urlnotreachable.com and upon failure would fall back to 100's of NetBIOS queries for the same destination.

One can easily follow along using Ethereal or Wireshark to snoop packets.
