Java trying to access remote IP

Hi,

I noticed that Javaws.exe and javaw.exe are tyring to access to remote IP address of 212.58.240.133 (http://www33.thny.bbc.co.uk/) when I am trying to run a Java webstart application. Why would it access to that site, it has nothing to do with Java.

Is this normal?

Thanks,

Tom

Any chance the application you're running connects to that site?

I am just curious to know as to how you came to know that those two files are communicating with that remote host?

My firewall accsss logs indicated javaws.exe and javaw.exe attempted to access to remote IP address, but it was blocked.

Interesting. Are you completely sure it is Java that is making the requests? Firefox makes a request to that IP on startup.Oh, and a reference URL: http://www.computergripes.com/firefox.htmlSearch the page for BBC.Message was edited by: DrewCDM
