Was pretty sure that the fact that the account has used 8.7GB of its capacity was due to my flatmate's need to play Planetside and other enmasse FPS's games online. Sitting here with the ADSL router ethernet cable leading to his computer unplugged and my system stripped back to running nothing except DU Network meter. I have deleted all network places not on this system so it shouldnt be LAN data going back and forth - but it's constantly pulsing out at 14.7kb/s DL and 1.7kb/s UL (runs at that for a few seconds, drops to zero, then runs again) My alarm system is not monitored, and has caused no connection problems, and I know for a fact that the most it should be doing is sending a test signal once per day. Not an Xtra customer - going through another ISP. So my question is - what's going through the network and is it chewing up my Jetstream quota? (The T/com usage meter says yes it is) Have run: AVG antivirus, and Spybot S&D in the last 24 hours and neither showed so much as a blip. Anyone know of a utility that can scan and list where the signal is going to or coming in from? Is it somehow local traffic going through the router as a LAN thing or somewhere else? Appreciate it.

257701	2004-08-02 21:04:00	Yes, get ZA on the job asap . Use an older version if you can (V4 . xx) as V5 was a bit problematic and I don't know if all the bugs are out of it yet . Options to find V4 include: Google for Zone alarm V4, check past PCW CDs, search PF1 for ZA V5 and read the comments, or someone here willl point you to a download site . You could have a keyboard that is calling home too, so try unplugging it and see if the traffic stops . Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)
257702	2004-08-03 05:57:00	I actually thought of ZA too - <Plug>on the cover CD of the latest PC World whats more</Plug> It gets weirder. Disable the ADSL connection - and still 3 seconds on and 3 seconds off... 14.7KB/s DL and 1.3 UL.... With the ADSL software manager set to disconnect - it stopped it sucking my quota though. Have e-mailed various interested parties (ADSL router tech support and network traffic monitor app tech support) to see if they can suggest anything.	Paulmnz (3507)
257703	2004-08-03 06:27:00	Have you got an HP multimedia keyboard? One model was distrubuted with a helpful feature in its driver to keep the connection alive. :D It has been expensive to people who pay for their bytes. There is a replacement driver from HP to stop it calling home frequently.	Graham L (2)
257704	2004-08-03 08:00:00	Try getting another flatmate or actually explain what hard and software you run. The ADSL router you have. No make and model once again. Not using Xtra but using another ISP. What ISP? No operating system mentioned once again. You use Jetstream but I have no idea how as I don't know what ISP you use. So far my advice is to buy a boat and use the "Flatmate" as an anchor. You have a home network and explained you have disconnected your flatmates' computer from the network. Would you like to tell all here what O/S you use? What phone filters have you? Who installed this mess?	Elephant (599)
257705	2004-08-03 08:05:00	Try getting another flatmate or actually explain what hard and software you run. Working on that. The ADSL router you have. No make and model once again. Conexant Not using Xtra but using another ISP. What ISP? iHug No operating system mentioned once again. Win XP Pro (I love it when you beg) You use Jetstream but I have no idea how as I don't know what ISP you use. Via iHug - and through the LAN connection of my ADSL Router So far my advice is to buy a boat and use the "Flatmate" as an anchor. Thats helpful. No really. You have a home network and explained you have disconnected your flatmates' computer from the network. Would you like to tell all here what O/S you use? Win XP Pro What phone filters have you? Standard DSE Telepermitted line filter have I. Hmmmm. No other devices connected to phone line I sense. Who installed this mess? It actually installs itself. And it works. It's just got some.... eccentricities.	Paulmnz (3507)
257706	2004-08-03 08:07:00	Oh and its a Logitech keyboard. Zone Alarm said "DLL as Application": was actively connecting - but wouldnt tell me where or why.	Paulmnz (3507)
257707	2004-08-03 08:09:00	ADSL Router is a Conexant 4 port Model # PT -3812 :O	Paulmnz (3507)
257708	2004-08-03 08:20:00	I had this problem with my Dell laptop running xp pro . . Spent months at postings world wide trying to figure it out, to no real avail . I formatted the drive and installed 2000 pro with sygate firewall (free for home use) never had the problem again . I believe it is a issue in windpows XP, in processes running . . . designed to make your server rich? ;-)	fairway (5932)
