When I opened the thread this morning (hours ago), my system was quiet. When, several
minutes ago, I did the netstat -atuevp whose output I attached to my reply to you and Tim,
yes, Thunderbird and Firefox were running.
Shall I reboot and re-do the netstat before launching Thunderbird and Firefox?
I will dig into the user-guide you referenced. This will take time.
Oh, with the output of netstat, if a process has made a connection but then disconnects
the
state may not be "established" but changed to "TIME_WAIT". If I
recall, it will remain in
TIME_WAIT for around 60 seconds before the connection is torn down.
So, best to check netstat just after you see activity has occurred.
