What is carrierzone?

[Dave Cason]

Hi,

Three of my XP computers are making a port 80 connection to a site at
64.29.145.9 and the registar is carrierzone.com. Is this normal and does
anyone know the cause?

Cheers'
Dave

Use SysInternals' Process Explorer or a packet sniffer to see what
process is making the outbound connection. That'll tell you who is
making the connection from your host.

OK, I'll go grab process explorer and I have seen the website... it does not
say much, are they an ISP or a spam blocking house. I also contacted the
admin and got no answer. It's odd to see that connection pop 5 with 5
threads at once.

You are not connecting to the ISP. You are connecting to one of their
customers. So knowing what application is loaded and making the
connection might identify why there is a connection.

All ISPs receive an allocation of IP addresses. Their customers are
assigned IP address from this pool. They may also provide services,
like webhosting, for their customers.

64.29.145.9 is allocated to carrierzone.com.
"nslookup 64.29.145.9" returns hostedc25.carrierzone.com.
So maybe they have a customer using them as the webhost provider.

You might try asking carrierzone.com as to whom they provide services
that uses that IP address.
