Hi,

With just the homepage of Certforums open on my browser when I type the netstat command I get the result seen in the attachment

Where has the amazon link come from

I think one or more of those images for reviewed items are linked from the Amazon site.

 

Thanks Keith- it would make sense
Sorry, if it seemed a daft question but I want to try and cover every possible corner in preperation for my Network +

 

We also have a link to Amazon half way down the left hand side of the Homepage. Possibly that's you answer.

 

Connections are very dynamic, generally very numerous, and not often much to be concerned with
every image on the site that links to another server counts as another connection to another place, its generally nothing to be worrying about, its just showing you all the numerous connections your systems making, if you have some IM running and a few websites open this can lead to pages of connections lol

but the amazon connection is likely to pull the image on the front page from the amazon servers
a link itself will NOT create a connection until its clicked, this is for obvious reasons
however an image is in essence, a loaded link

 

Thanks Gav. The thought did enter my mind but I don't know anything about web design and was curious as to why Amazon were on the netstat list when there is a link to Symantec which isn't listed

 

Id say the symantec images static nature is leading it to be cached locally (this is backed up by the speed its loading in my browser) where as the amazon one is could well be a dynamicly generated image and hence unable to be cached, this leads to the slow loading time and connection to the amazon servers every time its requested

although both are externally linked images, the fact ones loaded from cache means no connection to the original server is required unless the image changes

 

Thanks Ryan.

Another quality explanation. God, I am glad you are aboard

 

Don't know if this will help but I Googled "netstat tutorial" and this was one of the results.
