Why do 4 programs take up 50 connections in netstat?!?!?!
 
Hey guys,

My internet keeps on overloading and i did a netstat and i found out that programs like google chrome or firefox are using like 20 established connections!!!

How do i stop them from doing this because it is killing my internet!

Thanks
Chris

If the number of connections you were seeing from those applications was responsible for killing your Internet connection then everybody would be having the same issue.

The number of connections showing in netstat will depend largely on what you're doing with Firefox/Chrome, it's also worth realising (although I'm sure you don't need to be told this) that not every line in netstat is a live/established connection.

Finally, what are the actual symptoms that you are getting? Giving us this information might help us diagnose what your problem is more accurately.

Well, those 50 were established.

And all i was doing was browsing about 3 or 4 sites. Virgin PCGuard is responsible for taking a lot as well. Even itunes uses about 7 when i'm not even on itunes store

Sometimes the internet goes very slow or dies. And quiet often it goes slowish but loads in the end it loads.

Thanks
Chris

Try netstat -an and tell us how many listening and established you have.

Also XP or Vista?

Re: Why do 4 programs take up 50 connections in netstat?!?!?!
 
44 Established and 10 listening

I am running XP Pro

Can you post your netstat output here?

What do you get when you go to the DOS screen immediately after a reboot.

Those will mainly be local port numbers, local port assignments don't follow much of a pattern it's only the ports on the remote machines that correspond to known values (usually).

So what does this mean for my dodgy internet?

Because i phone up virgin and the guy said that i had way too many establishd connected. He also pinged the modem with my pc plugged in and without it plugged in. The ping was very slow with mine plugged in and normal when it wasn't

So somethings up

Have you tried running some Antispy software like AVG8 and Adaware 2008 .

Re: Why do 4 programs take up 50 connections in netstat?!?!?!
 
When did you first start getting problems?

Do you happen to have Have Life installed by any chance?

Re: Why do 4 programs take up 50 connections in netstat?!?!?!
 
Ermm, not too sure probably when i reinstalled xp.

Nope. Used to use P2P software but stopped about 6 months ago

That can happen with some routers, basically the router runs out of memory and starts to fail until a reboot.
Netstat -b or currports ( http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/cports.html ) will tell you what's actually on the end of those open connections.

Quite similar to Procexp that I mentioned above.

Re: Why do 4 programs take up 50 connections in netstat?!?!?!
 
try running netstat -a -o it'll give you the process ID of whatever is using that connection and you can track it down in the processes tab of windows task manager, if it doesnt show you the process id (PID) go to view at the top, select columns and put a tick in the PID box, tech support told me I'd got way too many processes running once and said I must be using p2p software or be infected with virus/spyware, turned out once I checked it was a program I use called Xfire, a games messaging program that does use p2p technology to download patches for games.

Re: Why do 4 programs take up 50 connections in netstat?!?!?!
 
netstat -bn

is best - you will see all the ips and port numbers (no lookups) and the process exe.

Re: Why do 4 programs take up 50 connections in netstat?!?!?!
 
Ok, well RPS which is PCGuard is taking up a lot, how do i stop this?

Surely it doesn't need 10 connections??
Surely Chrome didn't need 20!

Thanks
Chris
