Hi Folks, First, I want to thank all you good folks who responded to my last posting concerning excessive network collisions. Through all your advice I was able to fully understand what was going on. I have been trying to find a new ISP and after going through three, I now have one that really lives up to their claims concerning speed and reliability. So, I have been away from the list for awhile Thanks again. Now for the current problem. Packets continue to be sent to web sites I have viewed for some time after leaving that page, or pages, resulting in continuing internet connections. I can see the packets being sent using tcpdump. There is no reply, the packets are only outgoing. This activity eventually stops but the time varies with the number of viewed pages. I am using the 3Com ISDN LanModem, SuSE 5.3 on all machines, with one acting as a file server/mail server/router. Netscape versions 4.05 and 4.5 are in use on different machines. This problems occurs with all machines. The packets continue to be sent even after Netscape is completely closed. It's occurrence is only related to web pages, not ping or email, etc. It also does not occur with the one Win'98 machine running Netscape 4.5. No proxying is being used. I have connected machines directly to the LanModem thereby bypassing the router machine. The problem persists. Any help will be greatly appreciated! D. R.
