Re: [Dorset] network problems
Seems that I may have found part of the problem. I had ktorrent running as a automatically startup application. I have also enabled my Firestarter but still find that 'netstat -a' shows a lot of connections that I cannot explain. Doing a; netstat -pta | egrep LISTEN shows; tcp0 0 linux:mysql*:* LISTEN 1408/mysqld tcp0 0 *:www *:* LISTEN 1954/apache2 tcp0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 1109/sshd tcp0 0 linux:ipp *:* LISTEN 1132/cupsd tcp0 0 *:gdomap*:* LISTEN 1489/gdomap tcp6 0 0 [::]:ssh[::]:* LISTEN 1109/sshd tcp6 0 0 linux:ipp [::]:* LISTEN 1132/cupsd Which I would expect, but; netstat -a | egrep CONNECTED | wc -l Shows; 566 So my big question is what are all these connections that are established?

Re: [Dorset] dorset Digest, Vol 360, Issue 5
I would appreciate any advise and help on networking. (they say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing). I have been running etherape and it shows that my Linux system is sending out a lot of packets to IP addresses. I do do not have anything running (that I know of) and disconnecting from the Internet shows that these connections are still shown, but they are removed after time-outs occur. Doing a 'netstat -a' shows a lot of connected states. (even tho' I have unplugged the router connection to the Internet). (I have run 'transmission' for a torrent download some time back which may be the cause of the connections, but that is not running). It would appear that somewhere, something is trying to re-establish connections to the systems out on the Internet. I would expect to have no connections, especially when I have nothing communicating to the Internet. (maybe things like the update manager).
