Hey sluggers,
On our office network here, we are having a kinda strange problem.
Whenever we redial, after a few minutes the modem just cuts sick sending
data.
Netstat reveals nothing strange, a few connections to websites, I installed
xifmon and monitored the ppp0 link and its sending data at 100% nearly all
the time.
This naturally causes the internet access we get over this modem to grind to
a halt. How do i tell what is using this bandwidth? I installed ntop and
tried to get it working with many different settings, but it doesn't record
any data. It seems to receive zero packets. Redialing is only a temporary
measure.
The box is also running squid, but I don't think is sending any cache info,
because I can stop squid from running and the modem is still sending data
flat out. There doesn't seem to be any other explanation. The logs aren't
showing anything at all, most services are only listening on the internal
interface, ftp is completely disabled, ps aux doesn't show anything
different. Short of this box being owned (!) I can't figure it out at all.
