Hi all, I came up to my computer to send a quick e-mail, and I noticed my network meter was way to active for sending e-mail, so I did a netstat and found the following:
Active Internet connections (w/o servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 36500 mike.miark.net:33257 65.115.250.113:41004 ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 mike.miark.net:33075 64.245.59.27:ftp ESTABLISHED As soon as I saw this, I disconnected my dial-up computer which is a Win98 laptop running WinRoute. I had played with WinRoute's portmapping before, where I made one rule that anything coming in to that IP address and on port 35000 would be forwarded to my Linux box on port 80 (so that a colegue could connect to my web server). But this doesn't quite fit. First, the port numbers mentioned in netstat don't match. Second, I can't find a record of the foreign IP addresses in my logs. Third, the second item says "ftp" but I wasn't running proftp at the time. How do I learn more about what happened? Miark
