Hello, As of netstat's output, there's something using port 53/udp.
Using 'lsof -i udp' (if 'lsof' is already installed) should give more informations about the program using this port. If it's "named", use 'dig +trace @127.0.0.1 www.google.com' to see the responses (where the data are going/coming). With regards, Jean-Philippe. ps: it's normal you don't see any listen on port 53/udp.
