When launching Toad for Data Analysts (TDA), it attempts to make some TCP/SMB connections to the target database server even if the auto-connect option is turned OFF.
The unsolicited traffic is evident when monitoring it using Wireshark while starting TDA.
Product defect.
WORKAROUND
Delete the connection profile after using it in TDA and recreate it only when needed.
STATUS
Waiting for fix in a future release of Toad for Data Analysts.
