Just confirmed this to be an issue (with me), I turned off Imonitor.exe and I was able to get to the Internet. Still no fix though for Imonitor usuage.
Keith -----Original Message----- From: Keith Johnson Sent: Monday, December 30, 2002 11:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] Browser/FTP Issues I believe I have found a symptom of what is going on but unsure where to proceed (maybe open case with Imail or turn off Imonitor). I did a netstat -an and noticed that Imonitor has taken over virtual all ports from 1024 to 5000. This makes since why I can't open a connection to the Internet, ftp, telnet, etc. since there is no more virtual ports available to use. Has anyone seen Imonitor.exe take over all these ports? They are all sitting in close_wait status and not being released. Thanks for any aid!!

When the connection bombs, log off as "Administrator" and log on as your newly-created account. If connectivity is restored, that would tend to confirm a "logged-on user account" issue, and time to look closely at what is happening to the network settings in the Administrator hive. If the connection remains hosed under the new logon, at that point my advice to you is to start drinking heavily. <grin> Dev -------------- Dev Anand MCSE,CCNA,A+ Network Manager Biomorphic VLSI, Inc.
