I have some things to ask

What is this Time_wait,Established under the STATE part after typing 'netat' ?
And why are there 'two' Local IP addresses ? Isn't my local computer supposed to habe one IP address only? << This is the biggest question.
thanks

127.0.0.1 is the 'loopback' connection. Anything sent to that never actually leaves your box.

TIME WAIT is just the state a connection enters after it has been closed, but before it is purged from your systems networking cache (in simple terms).

The other IP would be from the actual IP of your computer. So pretty much, you've got two networking interfaces on your computer, a virtual one (the 127.0.0.1) and the physical one (10.11.44.173). So, the ip configured to your phyiscal networking interface is 10.11.44.173 (I assume assigned by DHCP). If you are connected to any service on another computer via the TCP/IP prootcol suite, it will be listed there.

The port number of the sending and receiving tasks are usually different. A server will listen on a known port, and when the client connects to it, it will provide an anonymous port to use for that connection.
