Hi,

I used TCPView (http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/tcpview.shtml) on a
Windows 2003 server, used as a webserver. The server is behind a firewall.
I saw a lot of entries like:

sqlservr.exe:1928 TCP 2colt397:ms-sql-s
rrcs-se-24-73-127-66.biz.rr.com:15628 TIME_WAIT
or
sqlservr.exe:1928 TCP 2colt397:ms-sql-s
rrcs-se-24-73-127-66.biz.rr.com:15628 SYN_RCVD

Is this a domain trying to find an open port to break in? What does the
TIME_WAIT part mean? Do I have to get worried or is this not that strange?

Thank you for your advice,
Vincent
