Guest pleiades12001 Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 I'm running Mandriva 2006. Why does netstat show several lines similar to this: 192.168.0.3:53431 frontal2.mandriva.com:http TIME tcpdump shows lots of communication going back and forth ie 15:52:44.768682 IP 192.168.0.3.53453 > frontal2.mandriva.com.http: . ack 2 win 1460 <nop,nop,timestamp 557020 8658803> Is there a process which is running that is doing this? Puzzled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhn Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 (edited) One app that do so is Network Monitoring ( /usr/sbin/net_monitor ) that do it to check if the connection is working. Network Monitoring start if you left-click on network applet in the system tray in the panel (KDE). Edited March 10, 2007 by Mhn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pleiades12001 Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Thanks Mhn. I checked and it was network monitoring. My paranoia levels are stabilising again. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
