Dear friends ,

Using the 'netstat -nat' I got the following results of port :

tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 764 192.168.0.25:32781 72.14.223.164:80 ESTABLISHED
tcp 0 0 192.168.0.25:32782 72.14.223.164:80 ESTABLISHED

Here I dont understand , the activities of LISTEN and ESTABLISHED . Can any body plz tell me the difference between LISTEN and ESTABLISHED ?

this must mean that you have started CUPS server (try to visit this address http://127.0.0.1:631)

72.14.223.164:80 ESTABLISHED - this means that you're visiting GOOGLE

why are you asking?
