Colin,
Thank you. I've been trying to follow the network security advice in the following
OS2ezine article:

http://www.os2ezine.com/20020516/pf_6.html

Based on that article, I can give you some information about your machine. Your first
two (2) netstat entries:

SOCK TYPE FOREIGN LOCAL FOREIGN STATE
PORT PORT HOST
====== ===== ========== ========== ========== ========
3 STREAM 60148 60149 127.0.0.1 ESTABLISH
4 STREAM 60149 60148 127.0.0.1 ESTABLISH

are basically the loopback IP address on your computer (IP=127.0.0.1). You have a link
between ports 60148 and 60149 on your own machine. However, I don't know what
those ports do.

>>But I don't know what to do with it. In particular I don't understand what a "Foreign Port"
of 0 means. And I don't know what a "Foreign Host" of 0.0.0.0 means. Can anyone help
me with this? Thanks muchly.
