I was just wondering if any of you networking gurus can help me figure out why my computer has established a couple of connections to itself. I ran a netstat on my machine for slow internet connectivity and saw, among other things, that my computer had connected to:
<br />
TCP mypc:3276 localhost:3277 ESTABLISHED<br />
TCP mypc:3277 localhost:3276 ESTABLISHED<br />
TCP mypc:3279 localhost:3280 ESTABLISHED<br />
TCP mypc:3280 localhost:3279 ESTABLISHED<br />
There's also about 25 other weird connections in there that I have no idea where they're coming from (browsers and MediaPlayer I guess), but this one has got me worried. Should I be concerned, or is it something that's normal and harmless?
Forgive me if this is in the wrong forum. I didn't find a forum for networking. Thanks for your help.

If on XP SP2, Windows Server 2003 SP1 or R2, or Vista, run netstat -b to indicate which process has these open.
I know that Firefox uses TCP sockets for inter-thread communication. This is to substitute for the lack of UNIX-domain sockets, the use of which comes from its roots on Unix.

Fairly certain those are P2P ports like edonkey, limewire, shareaza, etc...

This is a Microsoft based website, and asking Linux questions here will only cause trouble.
I would suggest trying a website like Linux Forums, there you'll have better luck getting an answer.
Hope this helps.

I also has the same comment of the previous reply to you that this is the Microsoft forum. But anyway, I still give you some idea relate to your issue.
Whether using linux, windows or any other operating system, and you want to install the driver for your hardware. You should know the hardware manufacturer and its model number. Try to check the manufacturer website and drive to find the driver section and if they provide the driver relate to your operating system, then you can download from their website.
Your question is too broad but based on my above comment, I hope you will be able to find the driver to resolve the problem. Good luck!!!

Download and install APT and Synaptec these are Redhat Package Management tools and should get you going.

I ppl =)
I have 2 computers connected through a router (local network). One of them (mine, a desktop, connected by cable) used to be called \\hintroom (by this time, I was running XP SP2), but then I installed vista and the computer is no longer called by that name. The other one (a notebook, connects to the router through wireless) and is running XP SP2.
The problem is: when trying to install some applications I get an error message "can't access \\hintroom\documentos p\Bruno - Os meus docs\As minhas imagens"
The thing is:
- There never existed such path at my computer (the desktop) but there are some things that make sense in it:
- "documentos p" stands for "shared documents"
- "Bruno" is the user name for the notebook (the one that has the problem)
- "Os meus docs" stands for "My docs"
- "As minhas imagens" stands for "My Pictures"/"My Images"
I don't know if this is of any relevance, but both setups that caused this (yes, they where only two, so far) where graphic applications (a program for building digital albuns, from Hoffmann, and a Corel plugin, I think)
If you guys could please help I would be greatly apreciated
best regards

I didn't install vista yet so I do not know any improvement in communication/networking feature in windows vista. But I'm expereince while install windows xp sp2 and it has some obstacle for me communicate with the other user on the network. This because of the new feature need to be configure its setting to match your networking environment.
My suggestion from here you should read about networking feature of windows vista. It might probably have some feature that improve its security feature and make you difficult to communicate with the other client on the network. I think with a proper condition, you will be able to make your windows vista and xp could be able to communicate with each other.

Ups =S my mistake !! I'm not trying to install the applications on my computer (WinVista), I'm trying to install them in the notebook (WinXP), that's the one throwing the error. 
Sorry about that

What is the software media that you want to install (CDROM, network, USB HARD DISK...)?

Is there a way to have a Windows XP Scheduled Task run at system shutdown?
If not, what I really need to do is execute ipconfig /release (or equivalent) run at system shutdown.

There is no way to tell the scheduler to execute a task at shutdown. It can, however, be done using Group Policy (Start/Run GPEDIT.MSC) in the Shutdown Script under Computer Configuration, Scripts. All you need to do is create a .CMD file to launch that command.

Do you have a Windows-based DHCP server? Go to Scope Options for the scope, the Advanced tab, set the Vendor class to be 'Microsoft Options' and tick the option '002 Microsoft Release DHCP Lease On Shutdown Option', and set the value to 1.
The clients will then apply this option the next time they renew their lease. Once this is done, they should do what you want.
If your DHCP server is not based on Windows, the option may still be there, but I don't know how to apply it.

I'll pass this on to the network guy.
The problem is that some of our servers use DHCP (WTF?).

Hi
How to start a interactive process(say calc.exe) on a remote machine USing WMI
Thanks In Advance

For security reasons, you can't. It's impossible to launch a process remotely as interactive unless the target machine is Windows 2000 SP2 or LOWER. It cannot be done on Windows 2000 SP3 and above, including XP and 2003, and expressly documented as such here[^].
