Dozens of outbound connections to Russia and other...

I was monitoring my network traffic today and saw that Skype has literally over 100 outbound connections from my computer. They range from the United States to Russia and more. I reached out to support chat today about this and was not given an answer about why this is happening. All they told me was "I guarantee your privacy is in tact". Attached is a screenshot of one of the outgoing connections.
All I want is an answer. Is this due to some kind of peer-to-peer networking? If so, why does my computer need to contact Russia? What data is being sent?
Thanks

I have the same issue except that Skype is trying to connect to a trojan sight called "akamaitechnologies.com", whick is a known trojan site. I use TCPVCON.exe to monitor my IP connections. Im about ready to get rid of Skype, if I cant find a way to stop this.
thanks ron

Desktops dropping wired connection to e4200 and other Linksys routers

Hi,
On Friday, I lost all Internet connnecitivity on my Linksys e3000. After determining that my cable modem was connected and working correctly, I pulled the e3000 and put my old wrv54g router in place. Wireless worked, but all wired connections showed link but no other apparent connectivity. Neither of my desktops could get a DHCP lease.
At that point, I purchased and manually installed a new e4200 router. All worked fine. Both laptops connected via wireless and both desktops via my house LAN. Until this morning (Monday). Wireless is working just fine, but both wired computers show 100 Mbs connections on an unknown network with no DHCP. Checking status shows packets going out, but nothing coming in. Checking LAN status on the router shows that both ports are connected, but it does not appear to receive anything from either desktop. All was fine last night. Oh, the router is on 1.0.03 firmware.
I have tried about everything I can think of. Configurations both on the router and the desktops (one Windows XP, 64 bit and one Windows 7) and all seems fine. I have disabled and reenabled the network connectors, rebooted both the router and the computers, etc. Nothing seems to work.
I am out of ideas and desparate. Does anyone have any idesa.
Thanks,
Mitch

I actually solved the problem, after a long day of trying everything I could think of, and the issue was not the router. I did a chat session with a Linksys support rep and we figured out that the router was bad. I replaced it with a new one and still had the same problem.
Long story short, I have a weather unit that connects, via wire, to the Internet to retrieve weather forecasts. It is hooked up through a ethernet switch, along with my desktop. For whatever reason, it went flakey and took down everything that was on a wire, including my wife's desktop in another room, which was connected to the router through a hub. As soon as I pulled the power on the weather device, everything started working. When I put power back, everything still worked.
Not sure why, or how this happened, but I will take success any way I can get it.
In regards to the e3000 problem, when I was returing the original e4200 for replacement at Best Buy, the guy there said that they had seen the ethernet switch part of the e3000 units fail before. I had an e3000, which failed last Friday, which was why I purchased the e4200 to replace it. Of course, my e3000 failed completely, including wireless.

Well I bought a WiFi router. How to connect old Macs and other things??

Hi,
I purchased a WiFi router mainly for my PSP but I also want to connect my Macs wirelessly to my router. What older Macs can connect to it and how? What other stuff can connect to it?
Thanks

In about an hour AR is going to start complaining about the cost being too high and wanting cheaper alternatives. The solution to each situation exceeds the value of the computers themselves. Don't bother asking if there is another less expensive way to do it because there is not.
Expect to pay at least $50 for one.
For the 8600 there's also a Belkin USB adapter that has OS 9 drivers and I believe there are PCI card wireless adapters that work under OS9 as well (although I can't recall which ones).
*Proxim Skyline PCI wireless card, that is what WAS sold and worked in 8.6-9.x - they are no longer made and the company was taken over by a larger one that stopped all Mac related support so no new drivers were made.
*Belkin has drivers for the F5D6050 USB device. They are OK, but not as reliable as one would want. Relative to each other the OSX drivers are better than the OS9 ones.
*Smart money would buy a wireless bridge.

One more bug:
I work with russian language. And on personalisation page of portal options I selected "Russian (Russia)" (There are variant simply "Russian" in list of langs but I tried it too with the same result) BUT I have only interface with russian lang and TEXTS of objects got for eng lang anymore (and in damp we can see that lang key = "E"). Where it must be corrected?
And for last in this message: I can create an object or edit it but can see that object was last edited by PI_JCO_RFC. Is it right? So, how I will can see who change the object at last time?
Help me please!

I try describe it again.
If I logon via SAPlogon with russian language in RSA1 I can see descriptions of objects for russian lang (and new objects which I will create will be with russian description if I enter it). In portal (rsplan) in personality I set russian language ang get the russian interface BUT it get descriptions for ENG and in this way I can't see any descriptions - only technical name because all objects was created with russian lang. So, what I need to do for get russian descriptions of objects in portal?
And another trouble - when I create object (for example - aggregation level) in portal then I can't see descriptions of it in RSA1.
And from this I have another question too. How I can (if it possible) use english interface and russian descriptions of objects in both portal and SAPLogon?

G5 No longer connecting to airport and other computers on network

My G5 dual 2.0 (mid 1994) was connecting to the internet through airport extreme base station until Saturday. I had upgraded it to leopard (archive & Install) then up to 10.5.1 last week and all was good. After bootup today it doesn't see any other computers on the network and it doesn't get email and doesn't access the web. When I check network settings I notice that WPA Personal is selected but not WPA2, so I tried to change that but it didn't seem to change after applying after a restart. Then I checked to see if DHCP setting were configured. This is where things seem odd, I can't renew the DHCP lease like I can on my MacBook Pro (running current version of tiger) that I am typing this with. I tried to make a new airport connection, tried using a different account, checked system profiler (sees card and all), but no connection to email or internet. Is there a firewall configuration that I need to set differently? Also, verified permissions. Is there something else that needs to be done or is there a ugly bug stopping the show?

i had the same problem after installing leopard on my macbook. it would not connect to the internet! i called applecare today and actually got someone who knew how to help me. he said that you have to reset the parameters whatever that means! and this is how you do it:
1 - turn off your computer
2 - turn on computer and immediately hold down these four buttons simultaneously: Option Key, Apple Key, P, R - then when you hear the second "ding" , LET GO OF THE FOUR BUTTONS.
i did it and the macbook is connecting to the internet just fine. i hope this helps!!!!!!!!

SPP connection between iPhone and other device

I am developer of car radio. We have finished SPP application in Andriod mobile.
But I couldn't find iPhone start SPP connection request to our car radio.
I wonder whether SPP connection has been start from other device such as our car radio?
Does any person has related experience to share how it works?
Thanks

Yes that is what I observed.
There have been other strange things going on with Mail on both the iPhone and the iMac so I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was one of them, but still I thought I might get a hint on this problem.

A way to "re-connect" bezier handles and other path editing techniques

I've searched and rummaged through tutorials for days but I haven't found a way to do a few things that I've come to think of as essential when it comes to path manipulation.
I'm using Illustrator CS4 (on Windows XP SP3) and I'm coming from a background of Inkscape. Within Inkscape, there are several handy tools that are missing from Illustrator that I haven't found workarounds for. Here's a list of these tools and a brief description for each of how they work within Inkscape:
]- "Shift + C" with anchor point selected: this will make the bezier handles of the point move independently of each other.
]- "Shift + S" with anchor point selected:
b this will "connect" the bezier handles
so that moving one side moves the other side relatively (and opposite to each other so that the bezier handles form a straight line).
(note: in Inkscape there is no way to make the bezier handles relative and not form a straight line, which is something I know would be useful)
]- "Shift + Y" with anchor point selected: this will make the bezier handles collinear (like shift + S) plus make the lengths of both handles the same.
(note: another possible feature would be to make the handle lengths relative, but not the same)
]- "Shift + Click + Drag" on a selected anchor point with the path selection tool: this creates one bezier handle in the direction you drag. This is very useful if you don't want to change the curve of the other side.
With these functions (preferably including the suggestions I've noted), path editing in Illustrator would be much easier.
On the topic of Inkscape's path editing abilities, there is also a way within the program to delete anchor points in two ways:
]The default way is to press "Del," which deletes the anchor points and makes the anchor points around the deleted points attempt to fill the area as close as possible to how it was with points.
]The second way is to press "Ctrl + Del," which deletes the points and does nothing to the surrounding points.
Inkscape's default deletion method is a huge time saver when you simply have a surplus of anchor points; you can the excess and the shape maintains itself (often the result is for the shape to smooth itself out).
I hope that these suggestions are described well enough to be understood. I also hope that, in understanding these potential techniques, you can see their potential usefulness within Illustrator.

Lee,
All those functions are present in Illustrator. I personally think their interface stinks in some ways, but they are there.
> "Shift + C" with anchor point selected: this will make the bezier handles of the point move independently of each other.
Convert AnchorPoint Tool. Press Alt to invoke it when the Pen tool is active. Otherwise, switch to it with Shift C. Use it to drag a smoothPoint's handle, and it will convert the point to a cornerPoint, letting you move the handle you click independently.
> "Shift + S" with anchor point selected: this will "connect" the bezier handles so that moving one side moves the other side relatively (and opposite to each other so that the bezier handles form a straight line).
Again, the Convert tool. Mousedown on an anchorPoint and drag. The point will become a smoothPoint and both handles will extend symmetrically.
There are also buttons to convert selected points between smooth and corner in the Control Panel when anchorPoints are selected.
> (note: in Inkscape there is no way to make the bezier handles relative and not form a straight line, which is something I know would be useful)
In my musings about Bezier drawing interfaces, I've often imagined a metaphor of "joints" rather than points. (That's really what they are: two adjacent Bezier curves with coincident endpoints.) Joints can be "hinged" or "locked"; "bent" or "straight". They can also be "dislocated". Joints can be locked bent or locked straight, and can be moved either way.
> "Shift + Y" with anchor point selected: this will make the bezier handles collinear (like shift + S) plus make the lengths of both handles the same. (note: another possible feature would be to make the handle lengths relative, but not the same)
See second item, above.
> With these functions (preferably including the suggestions I've noted), path editing in Illustrator would be much easier.
They are there; thier interface is just different.
> On the topic of Inkscape's path editing abilities, there is also a way within the program to delete anchor points in two ways:
> The default way is to press "Del," which deletes the anchor points and makes the anchor points around the deleted points attempt to fill the area as close as possible to how it was with points.
Not present in AI. (Not associated with a direct point manipulation tool, anyway. Commands like Simplify try to remove points while retaining the shape.)
> The second way is to press "Ctrl + Del," which deletes the points and does nothing to the surrounding points.
The Delete AnchorPoint Tool. Invoke it by pressing the minus key. Similarly, there is an Add AnchorPoint Tool, invoked by pressing the plus key. By default, the Pen Tool does that automatically to selected paths, but you can turn it off in prefs (unlike the infuriating auto join behavior, which affects UNSELECTED paths.)
> Inkscape's default deletion method is a huge time saver...I hope that...you can see their potential usefulness within Illustrator
Just about every user of programs like Illustrator, FreeHand, Draw, Canvas know very well the advantages of keyboard modifiers for such things, and all such programs provide them. (Although I do consider AI's treatment considerably more tedious than FreeHand's.)
You need to spend some time looking at the keyboard shortcuts described in the Help files, and carefully practicing them. You need to know how to invoke them while in the process of drawing paths with the Pen.

Problem with my internet connection with Mail and others

Hi
I seem to have a problem with my internet connection that is through Ethernet. I have just downloaded the update to iLife 9 and the down load speed went from zero to 1.1BB/s but most of the time it downloads at speeds around 8KB/s also Mail some times returns mail sent but there seems to be no problem sending out only that things go faster out than in. My internet speed from my ISP is 500KB/s so as you can see I was at first happy that I was getting speeds in of 1.1MB/s. I have done a diagnostic test through network also fully run Norton and finally run utilities with no problems showing. My ISP is willing to come and have a look at my internet but I some how think it's my computer, any ideas?
Thanks

The first thing I would do is completely disable Norton AntiVirus; there are no viruses for Mac OS X, so it can't protect you from something that doesn't exist. It can, however, severely slow down your system. Do that and then restart Mail and see if the problem continues.
You should also try creating a new User account and test Mail there to see if you experience the same problem; if so, then the issue is systemwide. If not, it's something specific to your regular user account.
As for your download speed, it's not 1.1MB/s; it's 1.1Mb/s. Upload speed is slower than download speed for both Cable and DSL service. I doubt the problem is your modem/router, but you should try shutting down your Mac and the modem for a few minutes. If your modem/router has a reset button, use it, then restart it and your Mac and see if the problem continues.

Im having trouble getting my wifi, it connects to the router but isnt getting internet. My room mates and I can connect our iphones and other devices just fine, help would be appriciated

First time on here and my knowledge with networking and such is very limited, my Mac Pro can connect to the router but when I try to open my browser it wont bring up any webpage. The only way I can get internet is through an ethernet port, Im basically at a loss for what to do.

You will find the AirPort icon (looks like this ) on the OS X menu bar. Option (or right) click the icon, and you should be greeted with a drop-down menu. All of the parameters I mentioned should now appear after the name of your Wi-Fi network.
The meaning of each of the values are as follows:
PHY Mode = The radio mode that your Mac Pro is connecting with.
Channel = The radio channel the Mac Pro is connected to.
RSSI = Received Signal Strength Indication. It's an indication of the power level of the signal as preceived by the Mac Pro's internal Wi-Fi antenna. Typically the higher the RSSI number the stronger the signal. RSSI is measured in arbitrary units. Some manufacterers use a positive scale, others like Apple, use a negative (0 to -100) instead. For the AirPorts, the less negative the better.
Transmit Rate = Instantaneous maximum date transfer rate of the connection in Mbps (Megabits per second)
MCX Index = Modulation and Coding Scheme. The MCS value identifies a number of things, including the number of spatial streams used in the Wi-Fi connection between the Mac Pro and the AirPort router. A larger or smaller MCS value is meaningless. Instead, it defines the actual connection type. In turn, the type can play a significantly on the potential bandwidth performance.

Connecting iPod touch(and other iPods) to multiiple computers

I just purchased and Macbook to use on trips, etc. I also have a G5 iMac and 4 different iPods. Can I synch my ipods with both my computers? How do I do it and do I need to change any default settings?
TIA for any help.
Frank

Hello Frank Locy,
In order to use any of your iPods with multiple computers, you will have to set each of them up to "manually manage music and videos" from under the Summary pane in iTunes. You will only be able to enable this option with the original machine you set the iPod up with, unless you wish to restore the iPod to factory settings through the new computer and enabling it there.
For more help on how to do this and information on how to use your iPods with multiple computers, check out this Apple support document.
[Using iPod with multiple computers|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202]
Hope this helps.
