Ben,
I had to reinstall Netstat. I had uninstalled those utilities when I
started using 98Lite. I didn't know what most of them were for....
still don't :-)
I think I have a problem:
C:\>netstat
Active Connections
Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP socket7:2344 216.35.217.182:17027 CLOSE_WAIT
TCP socket7:2345 216.35.217.182:17027 SYN_SENT
C:\>netstat
Active Connections
Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP socket7:2378 216.35.217.182:17027 ESTABLISHED
C:\>
I got the above after I closed Netscape, and didn't have any other
Internet software going except the dial-up connection. I know that
isn't my ISP's IP address. The fact that this is using such a high port
address seems suspicious as well... to me anyways. What do you think?
