That's damned strange.
Try running netstat at the same time you run rhide... maybe by launching
them from a batch file:
start rhide
REM asynchronous launch in W9x.
netstat
See what port is being talked out of, and what host is being contacted.
Then maybe run a packet sniffer and see what the devil is being sent.
