614565 2007-11-24 04:06:00 I think someone may be hacking into our network somehow.

because neither myself, or my brother are doing anything on the net. I just came back from watching tv and the data has risen by about 80mb when we didn't even do anything.

Are you on wireless ??

614566 2007-11-24 04:13:00 Yes.

I always quit the game if I am not playing it.

614568 2007-11-24 06:30:00 Ok it's been about an hour and half since I turned off the router.

it was 2.33 gb when i turned it off

now its at 2.39 gb used up.

so in that amount of time 60mb was used when we werent even on our computers?


I don't understand.

614569 2007-11-24 07:00:00 Maybe the useage meter dosen't update strait away. I would check it out with xnet.

614570 2007-11-24 07:02:00 I'm pretty sure that usage monitor program was knackered from like Tue (13/11)

Here it stayed on 1.12 GB from 13/11 to Wed/Thur last week (21-22/11) lol.

Then decided to move.

But I'm not complaining.

614571 2007-11-24 07:31:00 but theres no way we used 2.49 gb in such a short amount of time.

wtf it keeps going up every 5 mins when I refresh it

614572 2007-11-24 07:35:00 You must have programs running in the background, that update or something.

Kill them.
