Does anyone recognize what this tcpdump entry is about? It happens about every 5-10 seconds

Full Version: What is this from tcpdump?
it would seem that for some reason your computer is regularly contacting the website of the world wide web consortium. Why is another question...I would suggest using the netstat command to find out what service/program is using that port.

I had to reboot for other reasons and now the problem is gone. I'm sure it will reappear and I'll try netstat to track it down.
Thanks for the tip.
