OK. let me answer all of you collectively, sort of. I suspect I asked a
shotgun question.
What I have gotten back are laser beams. I am still confused. Hopefully,
some of my answers will let you all know where I am. I freely admit that
there is much about a server and the www that I do not yet
understand. Have books, will read!
Rick - Went to Karen'sTools and checked. "WhoIs" to me is an outbound
looking app. I am looking internal to a single LAN client. Nothing I see
there is what I am looking for, but I will go back and recheck again.
j_maccraw - Thank you for the link to a newer version of tcpview. That did
show me some very interesting stuff that just generates more questions, but
does not show what I seek 4now. Thank you for the newer version. It is much
better that the old version I had been using. Interestingly, I see nothing
connected to "127.0.0.1" specifically. I do see lots of internal windows/?
stuff connected to "0.0.0.0:xxxx" ports doing their thing. From what I can
see, all looks very normal and placid. Yes, I do see legitimate
calls/connections to all my LAN clients (10.0.0.x) from eset's remote admin
console and remote admin service. I expect these and they do come and go
as I expect them to.
Brian Weeden - Brian I do know that the ip addy of 127.0.0.1 is both
non-routable and can not be resolved across my home LAN. This is not what
I was asking. I am trying to find out "who/what" is "attached
to/listening" to this internal ip addy in my server that keeps a proggy I
am trying to use from working. The proggy is "homer" from
FunkyToad.com. Maybe this proggy is lame............. :)
Thane - You reply really has me scratching my head. I do not have a router
in play (yet). I know that the ip addy is my internal machine loop-back
address. But, whenever I try to run the "homer" proggy, it fails saying
"someone else is camped out listening to this address." Well, Duh, yea, I
would only hope my server (proper) is listening to its' loop-back addy
(127.0.0.1). As B4, maybe this "homer" proggy is truly lame.............. :)
So, at this point, I may need to query FunkyToad about this and the "homer"
proggy. I will admit that the instructions are sketchy at best, but I am
up for a challenge. I only chose this route because this proggy is rated
highly via the mvps.org site. And, I am playing with their latest "hosts"
file. I am testing this "hosts" file as an added bit of protection for IE6.
No, I am not ready to dump IE and goto FireFox! FireFox will not allow me
to do my banking biz. And, I am not ready for multiple browsers. Besides,
this may be a future topic for me as I read about the good/bad from other
List Members using FireFox!
Best,
Duncan
