127.0.0.1:* are always the local machine and MS uses these for all kinds
of stuff. If you look carefully, you will see that a proxy is typically
setting here as a filter to your email (in+out) and may be also a filter
to your browser as well.
go to www.nirsoft.net/ and lookup cports. when run with admin
authority, you can see and learn alot about proxies.
hint: your-email-client---proxy----your-isp-services
eg: outlook-express:1200----ccApp.exe:1200 -- isp-address:110
outlook is accessing the proxy ccApp.exe (norton) which is accessing
the isp:110 (pop3) mailbox
so, is 127.0.0.1:1200 a problem? find out what OTHER port that program
has open and chase it back to the IP address it is accessing
