Thanks Heather, David,

Heather, I hope you feel better :-)
David is right. I'm talking about outbounds.


Here some more info about what happens and my environment:


1. I'm working on my PC normally, no firewall activity, everything is
idle.
2. I click "connect"; I'm getting new IP form my ISP DHCP. I'm now
connected to the internet.
3. After 1-3 seconds the firewall alerts on outbound directed to the
IP I had the last time I was connected to the internet, followed by a
second outbound directed to the IP I'm using now.
4. If I block these attempts it will not happen again until I
disconnect form the internet, than I get a third outbound to the IP I
last used.


It is like some process is monitoring my network connectivity events
and reacts to it.
I can't make rule to block the events because Application is N/A and
the IP is always different.
My OS is WinXP,
I use Windows Defender and Norton antivirus.
All scans are OK. All resident processes are verified by the windows
defender.


so ...
What do u say guys?


p.s. Please forgive my bad English.

relaese/renew.
