Reese – I get a Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage error on that page you link to … My connection is OK.
ran netstat and found that on port 3389
dnscache.exe was listening. Googled but cant get clarity as to what this is and if it is bad
Link works for me in Firefox.

Works for me with IE7 now ..... that I've installed NIS 2009! Go figure .....
When I posted earlier I had NIS2008 installed still but between times I downloaded and installed NIS2008 and now the link works. I did try several times previously.
so I'm wondering if I should not block port 3389? Except I keep getting unsolicited connections from IP addresses that change and some send bytes and receive bytes?
And port 3389 should be for remote access and I have that off, Now I'm very confused as to my next step
so maybe dnscache.exe running on port 3389 has nothing to do with remote access? and maybe nothing to do with unsolicited inbound connections via port 3389?
As mentioned in the article, dnscache shows up on one netstat screen as one of the services that svchost is running but that it's not entirely correct. That same instance of the service is also hosting remote assistance / desktop.
when I use the netstat I don't see an instance of remote help or any type of program listening on that port. That is probably because I have remote help off.
But block port 3389 should stop any inbound connections from transmitting data on that port, correct?
I wonder if the dnscache.exe is some part of the process when you use remote help that translates the incoming request into an identifiable way, so you know that the person requesting remote access, who that entity (Microsoft, Norton, etc) is?
NY1986, you should probably read this article about SvcHost port usage. Your case is specifically discussed and is normal.
