Chrome is trying to access a remote ip address on my network

Eset firewall pop-up : Google Chrome is trying to communicate with a remote site

The problem is the IP address of the remote computer is another PC on my network.

If I deny there is no internet access for Chrome.

I do not have this issue with IE, Edge or Firefox

Why does it pick this other PC to access the internet when my PC is already connected?

Thanks

Please post a screen shot of the firewall pop-up.

I dont know but I think this is a secure ip (it´s from your modem).

But wait for an answer from a moderator/admin/someone who knows these type of things

"The problem is the IP address of the remote computer is another PC on my network."

My Gateway is 1.1

"But wait for an answer from a moderator/admin/someone who knows these type of things"

Great idea!

Thank you!

I have had the same request and have blocked it for now. The request I receive is from Google Chrome on another computer on the network. I'll be interested in the response.

The Eset firewall only allows incoming multi-DNS traffic on the local network for UDP, Port 5355.

What does that mean in non technical terms. The link only tells me what types of traffic are on that port.

Eset has no issues with all other browsers.

Thanks itman.

I couldn't figure out why the Google Chrome on another computer in the network would want to connect to this one. I denied it for a while and recently created a rule to just block it. That's my usual procedure in dealing with things I don't understand, deny and see if anything gets screwed up and if not create a rule. Certainty not the best method.

So is this a Chrome issue then? should I be asking on a Google forum for a resolution?

Come to think of it as I write this I do not recall even installing Chrome on that other PC.

If I "deny" I cant surf.....If I just create a rule "allow always" yet that other PC goes down then logically I cant surf because nobody to talk too, lol.

This issue is Chrome that is running on your PC is receiving an inbound connection from another computer on your network according to the alert displayed by Eset. And frankly that doesn't make any sense along with the use of port 5353.

Since this is only occurring with Chrome and not the other browsers you are using, it has to be something with the way Chome is configured on your PC.

Unlike SCR's post you are quoting I do not have Chrome installed on my other PC so we now know it's not Chrome on that PC inbound to mine.

I have just installed Chrome on this PC so have not really played with settings yet.

 

I ran these commands to see if I can pin point anything:

netstat -p UDP -a -o  | find "5353"
To list items/IP that are using 5353

netstat -abno
To list all ports that are listening

I am fining these items listening or using port 5353 :

mDNSResponder.exe - Bonjour Service 

nvcontainer.exe - Nvidia Container

chrome.exe - Chrome

svchost.exe - Bonjour Service 

 

and on the other PC

ekrn.exe - Eset Service

 

Getting close!

 

Thanks for the responses so far.

Get rid of this  - Bonjour Service  - and it should eliminate the port 5353 connections. Last thing I remember that ever used Bonjour was an Apple IPad.

[something1965 0]

Ended mDNSResponder.exe task and after shutting down Chrome twice to test not a whisper from Eset

Uninstalled Bonjour.

Opened Chrome and problem is back..

Then it's configured wrong on two of my PC's. It was showing up as a blocked connection on both and from each other. I'm pretty much out of ideas and web searches for a solution other then what I have now, both denied including the the Trusted zone. I figure it's not going to do much of anything now.

It's just the other computer that is the showing the blocked connections now. Nothing shows up on this system. I've spent a couple of days reading stuff I know very little about. I'll give it a break for a while.

Oh I don't plan on giving up, never give up.... I just started  going in circles and got dizzy. I'll be better in a few days.
