[KLUG Members] firestarter issues with ubuntu and sun website

[ashok pappu]

I am having a issue with fire starter. the minute I start firestarter I
am unable to browse any of sun's website (like
wwws.sun.com,java.sun.com...) Every other website seems to be working.
Infact I can see that the sun website is being blocked by firestarter as
I can see the the firestarter log. Pretty much all the websites seem to
work other than sun. 


I also added java.sun.com to allow incoming and out going connections.
When I look at firestarter log it seems that the ip 72.5.124.55 seems to
be trying to make inbound tcp connections on port 37653 and that is not
what is being liked by firestarter. A who is command seems does confirm
that the ip is sun
$ whois 72.5.124.55

Why on earth sun seems to be making inbound connections to my PC. I dont
think this is the regular TCP SYN/ACK thing because practically every
other website seems to be working

Any Help will be appreciated
