Can someone shed light on this message from Sygate Personal Firewall? Firefox (firefox.exe) is being contacted from a remote machine
- I brought up firefox and went to google groups.
- Sygate asked me if I wanted to go there at port 80 & I said OK.
- Then, Google came back asking to come in on port 1105. Why does Google want to remote initiate at port 1105?
Then I search for port lists and find this URL:
When I go to that link, besides the request to go out on port 80 I get another incoming Sygate permission request asking: NDIS User mode I/O Driver (ndisuio.sys) is being contacted from a remote machine
I say no, and the web page won't come up.
So I go to
My confusion lies in why these web sites feel the need to contact me on any port other than the port 80 that I go out to them on.
Can you shed light on what is the normal process here?
Thank you for your guidance, Ellen
