| 342563 | 2005-04-07 14:10:00 | I've just finished up rounding off a fresh install of WinXP Pro (a couple of hours later), and it looks like the internet connection is intermittently active, it slowly blinks on and off. It's kind of annoying and I'm sure it's not usually like that I'm sure. Here's a screener of active connections (sal.neoburn.net), what could cause the net connection to do this? |

| 342565 | 2005-04-08 06:32:00 | Is there a better way than netstat -a to see all connections? To be honest, I'm not sure if its that plain a deal. I swear the connection was either being used by me actively or not at all. | sal (67) | ||
| 342566 | 2005-04-08 06:58:00 | If you disable netbios and redo netstat, does anything change? Your firewall (if you have a good one like Kerio) can also tell what connections are alive. |

| 342567 | 2005-04-08 12:55:00 | Heres an example of what it looks like (sal.neoburn.net). It does that forever, from boot up to shutdown. How do I disable netbios (and what is it?). I will try installing another firewall :/ |

| 342569 | 2005-04-08 13:44:00 | Doesn't look like I have it installed (sal.neoburn.net), could it have anything to do with the fact that I bridged instead of ICS? | sal (67) | ||

| 342571 | 2005-04-08 14:42:00 | How fast is the light blinking? There will always be a very very small amount activity even if nothing is using it. |
