greetings, for some time, i have been noticing network traffic when i open firefox.
my 'round to it' finally installed wireshark and i have found that i have data transfers with to sites. #1 - 72.167.239.239 = godaddy.com #2 - 82.103.148.40 = easyspeedy.com i have no firefox add-ons related to above and have never loaded anything that should be causing these connections. i tried putting name in '/etc/hosts' file to send them to '127.0.0.1', but this did not work, so i am presuming that what ever is causing connections is doing so by address and not by name lookup. anyone know of above two and what i can do to eliminate them? any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. tia. -- peace out. tc.hago, g . **** in a free world without fences, who needs gates. ** help microsoft stamp out piracy - give linux to a friend today. ** to mess up a linux box, you need to work at it. to mess up an ms windows box, you just need to *look* at it. ** learn linux: 'Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition' http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html 'The Linux Documentation Project' http://www.tldp.org/ 'LDP HOWTO-index' http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/index.html 'HowtoForge' http://howtoforge.com/ ****
