Re: [freenet-support] local host
Yeah, I'd realised that if you could provide a list of all the different ports that would be helpful (or is there just too many?). The reason is, the actual port number identifies which applications are communicating (or trying to communicate) with each other. For example, email always uses one specific port number, ftp always uses a different specific port number, etc... that's why I wanted to know what the port numbers are ... - Original Message - From: "Robert Greenage" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2004 12:42 AM Subject: Re: [freenet-support] local host > > =whatever port is being accessed such as port 1104, 1106 etc. > > > > [Original Message] > > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Date: 6/23/04 9:39:25 AM > > Subject: Re: [freenet-support] local host > > > > >Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape and Internet Explorer.

This time I kept getting the destination ip 127.0.0.1: port > application: firefox.exe for example. I'm thinking of two scenarios here, a) port is always 53... Somehow your network settings are configured to try localhost as the primary nameserver, triggering the ZoneAlarm alerts and failing the connection since no nameserver is running. Annoying but harmless, all you'd need to do is fix the DNS setting in network properties. b) port is something else... There are several malware programs which essentially hijack the Windows TCP stack in order to send all your requests through an advertising server. AdAware or Spybot S&D would find any programs that might be trying to do something sneaky in this manner. Are you able to actually use any of your internet applications, or do they fail to connect at all after the ZoneAlarm warning? -s ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think so - so ZoneAlarm is reporting that all of these applications are trying to access port on 127.0.0.1 What is by the way? It is almost always perfectly safe for software to connect to ports on ip 127.0.0.1. A lot of software services are listening on specific ports and one way for applications running on the same computer to communicate with each other is to create connections to 127.0.0.1:SOME PORT Perhaps you changed your Zone Alarm settings when you installed Freenet, and now it is simply reporting more connections than it used to? I think the default settings for Zone Alarm do not bother reporting connections to 127.0.0.1 as that simply means applications on your PC are communicating with each other, and it's usually perfectly safe. d ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [freenet-support] local host
Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape and Internet Explorer. I also tried Windows Media Player as an experiment and it happened with that program also. I never allow MP to connect to the internet...I only use it when I am not online. I use Zone alarm as a software firewall and I allow it to "show" blocked sites every so often as a " check" to see what is trying to access my pc. This time I kept getting the destination ip 127.0.0.1: port application: firefox.exe for example.

Re: [freenet-support] local host
When you say "all your programs are trying to ACCESS the internet through 127.0.0.1" what do you mean? Also what do you mean by 'all your programs'?

All my programs are trying to access the internet through 127.0.0.1. This occurs even though freenet is not running,I have removed all proxy configurations from my browsers..mozilla,firefox,netscape and even ie( which I use for windows updates). I am using 98SE,192 RAM, PIII 500MZ, 10 gig hdd(master) and a 30 gig hdd(slave). Modem connection. How can I stop this from occuring? Anyone have any thoughts?
