| On my main XP Home PC, which is providing Internet access to another PC
| via ICS, my firewall (Kerio PF 2.1.5) has recently
| started reporting that winlogon.exe and rundll32.exe are trying to
| access the Internet, which I have blocked as neither my other
| XP Home PC, or my XP Pro PC have ever tried this. However, when they
| are blocked, they just keep increasing the outgoing port number and
| trying again, which eventually means XP reaches it's port limit, gives
| a 'Socket error 10055. No buffer space available', my Internet
| access stops working and I have to reboot to get it working again. I've
| increased the port limit to it's
| maximum, which delays this happening but I want to sort this out.
|
| I used Process Explorer to see what was running under winlogon, and
| alg.exe looked suspect, so I disabled this (I didn't need it
| anyway), but it didn't make any difference.
|
| I can kill rundll32.exe, but it tends to get reloaded somehow. Anyway,
| I want to stop it loading in the first place. winlogon.exe can't be
| killed. They IP address' they're trying to connect to are (all
| destination port 80):
| 4.78.20.3
| 4.78.20.4
| hosting-68.76.rev.fr.colt.net [213.41.76.68]
| h-213.61.6.3.host.de.colt.net [213.61.6.3]
| 208.185.54.9.speedera.com [208.185.54.9]
| 208.185.54.16.speedera.com [208.185.54.16]
| 208.185.54.17.speedera.com [208.185.54.17]
|
| My firewall also regularly blocks outgoing NetBios attempts (UDP,
| source and destination port 137) to seemingly random address: Today's
| log shows: 4.78.20.3 (which seems to be the only one in common with
| winlogon.exe or rundll32.exe) 60.48.38.195, 61.152.158.123,
| 64.14.117.8, 64.216.139.96, 82.44.103.255, 82.155.164.245,
| 82.173.240.46, 82.240.30.68, 193.38.108.213, 203.62.201.47,
| 204.187.251.43, 218.83.153.58, 222.77.185.243.
|
| Would doing a Repair Install fix these problems? I'm dubious, because
| even if it replaces all the XP files, it won't clear any
| entries from the registry that might be calling a non-XP file which
| might be the cause of these problems.
|
| If I have to, I'll re-install XP, but I don't want to do that if it's
| not necessary obviously.
