Ok, here's an odd situation.

I have a Network Attached Storage (NAS) drive on my home LAN.

It's set to power down after it's been running for a few minutes without any activity, the next time you try to access the drive it takes a couple of seconds to wind back up and get going again, but that's fine by me.

So.....

Whenever I start iTunes it seems to take a few seconds to get going, until recently I'd thought nothing of this, but then I realised that every time I started iTunes the NAS woke up and when it was finally up and running iTunes would start properly.

It appears that every time I run iTunes it's attempting to access my NAS.

I've checked that all the various networking options are switched off in iTunes, it's not looking for anything, and the iTunes folder is stored on a partition on the fixed drive (not on the NAS). The NAD path isn't in any of the settings for iTunes.

I'm a little mystified - anybody got any ideas what's going on?
