| 342573 | 2005-04-08 14:51:00 | could it have anything to do with the fact that I bridged instead of ICS?Probally something like that, I would just make sure you have a good firewall, sygate and kero are good. [Edit]Both lights are not flashing, it's probally just checking for a connection. |

| 342576 | 2005-04-08 19:53:00 | How do I disable netbios Open Network Connections. Right-click on your connection. Properties. Highlight Internet Protocol [TCP/IP]. Properties. Advanced. Wins. Check Disable Netbios over TCP/IP. It can also be disabled under Services. |

| 342577 | 2005-04-08 22:51:00 | If you disable netbios and redo netstat, does anything change? No, nothing changes. It looks like it sends a packet every second, but I dont know where to. Argh, annoying! |

| 342580 | 2005-04-09 01:13:00 | When I installed Win2KPro I knew nothing about the OS. Everytime I went on the internet there was activity for about 6 hours as it updated the drivers and other parts of the system, I think. If you think about it, it is quite unlikely that the CD that you have used to instal the OS is not completely up-to-date, so therefore many small housekeeping tasks and improvements will have to be made to get it to the latest configuration. This has nothing to do with critical updates and security improvements, I think this is what svchost.exe (up to 4 incidences running) does, make sure that the day to day workings are as current as possible. Sometimes I see activity that I cannot account for and I quickly activate TCPView and see that once more my computer is talking to MS under the radar, so to speak, even though I have "inform me of any updates from MS from MS before installing" ticked. I bet you will find that this activity will stop once the system is completely current. |

Its not the LAN light that flashes, it's the Internet Connection one that does. I bet you will find that this activity will stop once the system is completely current. I took care of EVERYTHING to do with updates. I feel kind of paranoid, like big brother is watching me or something. |

| 342582 | 2005-04-09 02:15:00 | "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't trying to get you" I am not talking about updates, I am talking about everyday house keeping, from MS. |
