FireFox + VMNAT.EXE = Lots of Unconnected UDP Connections..??

When ever I use any version of FireFox in a WinXP VM to browse the internet im always seeing lots of Unconnected UDP connections in my TCPViewer on my HOST XP PC..??

And they really bog down the browsers speed until they are all closed..!!

But when I use Internet explorer in the same VM I don't seem to have this problem at all..??

What could possibly be causing this to happen on FF & not with IE .. does anyone know..??

Well it seems to be more of an issue with your firefox setup as IE as you already mentioned.

If I was in your shoes, I would try to completely clean the firefox install and set it up fresh (or try running firefox from another guest, such as a linux one with firefox pre-installed)

Unconnected UDP means there's no IP's that it tries to connect to?
