| 840891 | 2009-12-18 10:32:00 | Today I booted up the Pc, and while conecting to the net, up popped a second request to connect to the net, I ignored it and canceled the second one when the 1st connection was established, but curiosity got the better of me and I was curious to know what prompted the second connection to pop up, as I'd not tried to open any application or open explorer that might have prompted the connection to come up. So I took a look at firewall connection screen, took a note of the IP addresses going out - two of them, one was APNIC-119, the second however came back as "Network: microsoft-global-net" .... and I'm wondering what on my Pc would be connecting to there ? and what who where is Microsoft-Global-Net ? ? ? Is this somethign I should be blocking ? or can relax about ? and if there is a need to block it - How ? my firewall is Comodo.(maybe I'v ok'd this in the past without realising it) - (assuming IF Comodo ever did ask for the ok) |

| 840892 | 2009-12-18 23:52:00 | what is the IP address or fully qualified domain name that your PC was trying to connect to | nmercer (3899) | ||
| 840893 | 2009-12-19 11:05:00 | yeah.. soon as I posted - realised I should have added more info! pretty sure the protocol was svchost .(Ithink).. ip address is - 207.46.21.123 probably nothing to be concerned about ~ I guess if we were to check all IP connections we'd be surprised at the places a pc connects out to!! |
