Open network connections

[kumpooterjooser]

Please see screen shot...

Leopard 10.5.7...

it lists all the network connections from my machine. No firefox or adium or any other software. Just the OS processes. Also I dont have any startup items or sharing services. The first tcp entry is for a windows machine folder mount.

Does this look normal to you guys...my curiosity is about all those *.* foreign addresses...

Also in the local address is see lot of *.port enteries. All those 5 digit ports. I tried googling some, nothing came out.

Any help is much appreciated

That's not network connections, it's active dynamic firewall rules.

Type "netstat" or "netstat -n" into the terminal to get all your network connections.

I am pretty sure that's network connections...just that I used a GUI app to get that output.

Anyhow, here is the "netstat -an" output...looks pretty much similar...

I have found the process that listens/starts those ports...

bash-3.2# lsof | grep 50285

mDNSRespo 23 _mdnsresponder 9u IPv4 0x3ea21d0 0t0 UDP *:50285

bash-3.2# lsof | grep 58998

mDNSRespo 23 _mdnsresponder 10u IPv4 0x3ea2458 0t0 UDP *:58998

bash-3.2# lsof | grep 61582

mDNSRespo 23 _mdnsresponder 12u IPv4 0x3ea1450 0t0 UDP *:61582

bash-3.2# lsof | grep 58564

mDNSRespo 23 _mdnsresponder 13u IPv4 0x3ea12a0 0t0 UDP *:58564

_mdnsresponder now gotta figure out what the heck is this...
