i did a netstat -a and it showed nothing unusual.  i found that strange, as
their are thousands of attempted connections out of this pc.

check in portlists for possible trojans at that portnbr., as i remember
kerberos is somehow attracting attention to one of it's port. Ehr, thought
this had something to do with LDAP or some other similarlylike service.
Verify wich services there are running at your host wich is initiating (?)
the connections. Eventually verify these with reliable service activity on
the machine itself.

Do you mean you have no way of doing 'netstat -a' or something ?

Subject: port 2112


we have a computer trying to contact a computer on the internet
66.7.244.x
on port 2112 /tcp.  we've looked at the computer inside our network, but
didn't find anything unusual (but we were not able to do a lot of
snooping
on the computer -- politics).  i did a google search on found a few
programs running on this port, mostly kerberos related.  anyone seen this
type of activity also?  suggestions?

thanks for your help
