My PC keeps trying to connect to time.windows.com but the IP address it tries to connect to does not belong to Microsoft. It belongs to Brooks, Sultera, Sattler, P.C. and Network Access Solutions in Virginia. I saw this in my firewall traffic log and did a backtrace
and Whois. I also went to DShield.org to get info on the address and it gave me the same thing.
My computer only attempts to access that IP address when I use certain access numbers.
My ISP has like 3 sets of access numbers. Each set is owned by a different company. My ISP just kind of "rents" the numbers. So whenever I dial any of the numbers from the 1st set, that's when I have this problem. I went to check the access numbers list on the ISP's website and the 1st set of numbers have been removed but I can still use them. Though with the one specific number it continuously tries to access some billing thing on port 443 and I can't access anything else.
But I can't see where any of that would have anything to do with the IP address problem. I would call my ISP and ask them but they're so stupid they wouldn't have any clue as to what I'm talking about.
Why is my computer trying to connect with them? And not only that but instead of trying to use svchost, it's using whatever program I've currently got running like Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Divx Player, various instant messengers, and AVG download update. My computer does not have any viruses, worms, spyware, etc. I ran two scans. One using AVG software and one using the Trend Micro Housecall online scan. I also used Spybot and nothing was found.
Any ideas as to what's going on?
