peer guardian
by Xstream » Sat Jul 01, 2006 12:08 am
I am running Peer Guardian on my pc, and its suppose to block access to my pc from certain types of web sites.
It is constantly blocking these ip addresses, even when I am doing absolutely nothing on my pc except surfing Pronetworks.
who ARE these people and why is my pc connecting with them?

That's from Charter in Kentucky, is that your ISP? Maybe you should talk to them. I had a similar issue with my ISP and allowing them through caused me no problems. http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch? ... s.arin.net

oops. fired off a scathing email to Charter accusing them of spying, then noticed that PG was set to block ads, so any site with ads was blocked, including Google.
might be innocent , except it tries to connect to places when I run WMP.

Akamai is understandable... Most of MS' content comes through them and if you're in WMP, then it's probably the guide.
The website addresses are all port 80, so i would allow HTTP and type in their addresses into IE and see what the pages are... they may be harmless, they may not.
