My Firewall just gave me this warning: Ps.: I didn't use any frame serving functions... File Version : 1.5.1.1a File Description : VirtualDub File Path : d:\Gordian Knot\VirtualDubMod\VirtualDubMod.exe Process ID : E94 (Heximal) 3732 (Decimal) Connection origin : local initiated Ethernet packet details: Ethernet II (Packet Length: 54) Destination: 01-00-5e-00-00-16 Source: 00-e0-18-a7-83-b4 Type: IP (0x0800) Internet Protocol Version: 4 Header Length: 24 bytes Flags: .0.. = Don't fragment: Not set ..0. = More fragments: Not set Fragment offset:0 Time to live: 1 Protocol: 0x2 (IGMP - Internet Group Management Message Protocol) Header checksum: 0xa932 (Correct) Source: 169.254.247.161 Destination: 224.0.0.22 Binary dump of the packet: 0000: 01 00 5E 00 00 16 00 E0 : 18 A7 83 B4 08 00 46 00

maybe one of codecs (divx? :devil: ) trying to access inet?

XviD :( :scared: If it was DivX , I would not event ask the question :sly:

Hmm strange. I also have a firewall and VirtualDub(Mod) never tried to access the net :/. Moreover I don't know enough on sockets to try and play with networks :p

I wonder why people install such useless software... (in case you point to some reviews about ZoneAlarm: i've read about 20 of them, and all were written by trolls. Although I don't know which packet filter you use, it is most likely useless: Unless you exactly know what you are doing, all you cause is problems... )

The protocol (IGMP) and the address (224.0.0.22) can tell you that it's a multicast request. Maybe VdubMod 1.5.1.1a integrate a network mod (or some preliminary support). And so it try to find some friend on the local network :D to accelerate your encoding. Btw this data will not go too far through your internet provider ;)

Ok, thank's, it rassure me. In reply to the "useless" post: I use a firewall for personnal reason, good reason. not because I'm paranoyak: I don't even have an A.V. ;p Ps.: Zone alarm and Black ICE are the worst firewall ever.

The 1.5.x line of VDubMod hasnt any network code. I'd strongly recommend you to scan for virii/trojans.

Black ICE has a great exploit in it, it fun when I scan someone with this crap, it give me a remote shell ... woooo what a great protection ;p well, I think it is not the subject of this topic, so stop talking about firewall now :rolleyes:
