Can I tell if my stolen laptop is trying to phone home?

[Todd Wasson]

Hi all, my laptop was unfortunately recently stolen, though I had
adeona on it. Since I have the credentials from it, is it possible to
know if it's trying to phone home? I understand the backend services
are broken, but I really just want a binary answer about this so I at
least know if the thieves have reinstalled it or are using my
install. An IP address would be a big bonus, since I'd love to SSH in
and remove things.

Thanks!

No, sorry.. since the backend service will stay offline there's no way for you to get infos from your adeona laptop..

prey would be a better choice, since it doesn't need a backend service.. but i think for you it's a little late now..
