I assume you mean that your router *can*, not that it necessarily does. It seems like it would be awfully inconvenient to block all such ports, given that programs often need to open connections to non-privileged ports. E.g., see below for all the ports that netstat reveals have connections currently open. Sorry, maybe I phrased myself badly. I, and I think the original poster is in the same situation, have my own box behind a separate router, that router is firewalling incoming traffic (WAN - Me) and in my case then it does block *all* ports except ones specifically allowed by the router admin (in this case, me). The netstat output you show is, I believe, showing the local ends of any outgoing requests you have open, which are not blocked by the router. `netstat -l` shows a, what I think is a more relavent, list of ports your machine is listening on for incoming connections.

Weird PS/2 mouse behaviour
Hi, I've had this problem ever since I got the external mouse, it's recurred across (iirc) a stock 2.4 kernel, a stock 2.6 kernel, and 2 self-compiled 2.6 kernels. So I don't think that's the issue. I'm running a testing system with testing security updates. Whenever I plug in my external PS/2 mouse, model number SAGM011 Microsoft branded iirc (doesn't say on the mouse itself), then it goes haywire. Shoots all over the screen, randomly clicks on things until I unplug it, but if I then wait for the activity it just caused to die down and plug it in again it works perfectly. It replicates the behaviour every time, alternately going crazy and working perfectly. This isn't a major issue, I can just plug it in twice, but if anyone has any ideas I'd love to lose this annoyance :) /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Section InputDevice Identifier Generic Mouse Driver mouse Option SendCoreEventstrue Option Device/dev/input/mice Option Protocol ImPS/2 Option Emulate3Buttons true Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection I did try all the other device options it gave when I upgraded to X.org, iirc this was the only one that worked.

Re: firefox-crash (1.0.4-2sarge2)
Brett wrote: Greetings, I just updated firefox yesterday and today it is giving me some problems. First it was seg faulting all over the place (eg when opening a new window or opening the extensions window). So I tried to uninstall all extensions (which I though might be the problem), but firefox kept crashing too much to do that. So I deleted my .mozilla profile directory, but now it wouldn't start at all. It gives the error: Xlib: connection to :0.0 refused by server Xlib: XDM authorization key matches an existing client! (firefox-bin:1615): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: So I killed Xwindows and still the same error. I removed mozilla-firefox (with --purge), re-installed and still the error. I tried rebooting and still no luck. Thunderbird (where I write this) and all other apps work fine. This is with firefox 1.0.4-2sarge2 Any ideas are appreciated, Brett Maybe check (ps aux | grep firefox) if there's still a firefox running somewhere? Just a thought.

Hey, I had the same problem when I updated earlier.
It already seems to be in the bugtracker:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=324473
My quickfix was to roll back a version, sorry I can't help with actually
fixing the segfault.
Cheers
Oliver
P.S. Sorry gnat, I accidentally sent a copy directly to you rather than
the list .
