On my Win2k box this SERVICES.EXE keeps popping up (using outpost) asking me whether or not to allow it. It's always trying to connect to ns.asm.bellsouth.net via UDP on high port numbers like 16948.

Is this a Name Server? If so, why is my system trying to resolve names when I am not even using it or don't have IE open?


thx for helping a newb understand
