r cmd check in r 2.11 accessing internet

While performing an Rcmd check in R 2.11 (2010-03-14 r51276) on
Windows Vista I noticed it was trying to access the internet during
this phase:

* checking Rd cross-references

Is that supposed to happen?

Well, even make check of R itself accesses the internet since many 
years, hence it would not be a big surprise for me that it happens with 
R CMD check for some packages as well - which unfrtunately is the case 
for many CRAN packages that sometimes fail my checks if the server to 
connect to is offline (or we are).

Which package are you talking about?

Best,
Uwe

I was checking the zoo package.  I think I only noticed it because I
had downloaded a new R 2.11 and the first time a program tries to
access the internet my firewall gives a message.  Actually the
zoo-quickref vignette does download some stock data but this occurred
during checking cross references rather than building the vignettes.
Its possible that it was checking CRAN for a package not in my R 2.11
library -- does it do that?

Thanks.
