I am running windows XP home on a wireless network. I have nothing unusual
installed. When running netstat -a I notice the following line:

TCP sternmobile:3098 cb.msn.com:http TIME_WAIT

Why is it connected to msn.com?!?

I notice this periodically.

Thanks.

Try downloading the free utility "TCPView" from sysinternals.com. On a
XP machine, it will show which process on your computer opened the
connection. This may help you trace this down.
