Hiya gang,
Some of you may recall a previous post by me regarding 'unsolicited UDP responses from OpenDNS servers'. Although I thought that I had resolved the problem, it has started happening again, so I may have come to the wrong conclusion last time. My earlier thoughts were that it was caused by an application called Bonjour which appears to be installed by stealth whenever you install any Apple software, such as iTunes, QuickTime, Safari and possibly a few others. Having been free of the problem since I last posted I did install a new version of iTunes recently, and this problem seems to have started again around the same time. It's taken me a few days to realize first of all that it was happening again and to carry out some research to see if anyone else was having the same problem. There is a lot of talk about Bonjour being the cause of the problem, so my first reaction was to remove that from my system. This did seem to put a temporary stop to the what I refer to as 'unsolicited' UDP responses. Earlier today I decided that I would go through and remove all Apple applications from my system, only to find that Bonjour was back again. I have removed that plus all other Apple applications via Control Panel / Add or Remove programs. I now intend to monitor this for a short period and see if that Bonjour thing comes back - it shouldn't I suppose as long as I don't install any Apple software.
However, the main point of all this is that I was wondering if anyone knows of an application which can be set up to monitor outgoing requests to, for instance, the DNS servers run by OpenDNS. Hopefully, if such a thing exists, I can finally put an end to this what I consider to be a rather annoying problem not of my own making.
Thanks for all input and ideas
