Sorry for my stupid question, but whenever I open any web page that includes flash animation, netstat -altu shows an open tcp connection like:
Code:
tcp        0      0 mycomputer:42238          a193-170-140-xx.de:http ESTABLISHED

xx is a number (in my case 70-78 ).
The connection will be disabled after changing to a non-flash site.


Stupid question: why?

I have:
net-www/netscape-flash-7.0.63
www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.0.8
