| 159361 | 2003-07-13 08:19:00 | I am running a wireless network consisting of 2 laptops and a desktop computer which is connected to the Internet by Internet sharing. Whenever I start one of the laptops it automatically forces a connection to the Internet. Disconnecting the dial-up connection only solves the problem for a random amount of time when it redials. I have attempted to turnoff possible culprits but no solution as yet. Is there an easy way of detecting what application is wanting to access the Internet? | j4john (4217) | ||
| 159362 | 2003-07-13 08:55:00 | There are several causes of this: 1 - your network protocol is bound to a dialup adapter, and is therefore trying to initiate a connection to "prepare" your network. 2 - you have public DNS Servers set - this is caused by the laptops not having a Browser Master on the network and therefore resorting to go to their DNS Servers to resolve host names. Do you have a PC on your network as well that could take "charge" and be the browser master? 3 - Something is getting started when your laptop starts which either wants to phone home, or, wants to gain connectivity to another system - although a firewall should pick this up CyberChuck |
