Port 1443

Hiyas,

One of our users is running ConSEAL PC Firewall on her PC.  She has a
dial-up modem connection, on a standalone PC.

As of yesterday, it is reporting outgoing TCP connection attempts to
207.112.156.42 on Port 1443, but the source port on her PC is incrementing
by one on every failed attempt.  There is a new attempt around every 10 to
20 seconds, whilst she is online only though.

I am unable to resolve who that IP belongs to, and I'm wondering if anyone
knows if this may be a trojan or something as simple as registration
confirmation.

Does anyone know of a way on Win95 to find out which process/application is
initiating these connection attempts?

I haven't gone to the stage of removing the machine, and then spoofing the
target IP on a standalone dial-in system to find out what it does when it
connects just yet....
