Interesting, and much easier to understand than TDIview. I found that there was only one active TCP or UDP connection, and it was a pretty mysterious one: svchost.exe:844 TCP fantasy-bernie:2369 208.172.158.220:http ESTABLISHED I have no idea what that is... strange site: doesn't have an rDNS. BUT: I managed to figure out what it was: it was *windows*update*. It was slowly doing its "background" download of an update... so I just updated the stuff myself and: 1) it appears that the rogue network activity has stopped, and 2) that mysterious HTTP connection is gone. /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <-- -- ---------------------------------------- The WIN-HOME list is hosted on a Windows 2000(TM) machine running L-Soft international's LISTSERV(R) software.
