Why I'm getting this outbound connection request?

Hi,
I just started my PC, and opened my browser, FireFox, and used Google for a serach, and as soon as I got the search result, my Firewall, was asking for outbound connections, on two IP addresses. on port 81.

Anyone has an idea what it is?

128.214.112.92:81 Helsinki Institute for Information Technology
194.80.38.243:81 Lancaster University Computer Centre

By the way, I run kav, spybot, adware...and my pc is clean....

Thanks...

 

In fact, I'm getting the outbound connection request, on every google search, on port 81, however the IP's are different: 128.31.1.13:81, 171.64.64.217:81....

 

I tried my other browser, Opera, and works fine, without any outbound connection request on port 81.

Anyone has any explanation?

 

Sorry I can't solve your problem but the other two addresses are for education as well


128.31.1.13:81 = planetlab3.csail.mit.edu
Massachusetts Institute of Technology

71.64.64.217 = planetlab-2.stanford.edu
Stanford University

 

Update on previous message

If you put http://128.31.1.13/ into your web browser you get the Planet web site that gives some advice on your problem

The other address goes to the google site with this.
