Re: Misterious foreign IP address
Thank you for your response.
The IP no longer shows now but I tried the suggested netsat
command(netstat -b -o). The result indicates that the IP mentioned in my
OP appears to be that of a Skype client. I do not remember the port #
of my local IP but it was not in those port-forwarded by the router.
Thank you again for your very enlightening response about netstat.
