I have been having constant internet activity lately. Icon ( both in and
out at the same time) in the tray is constanly flashing even without any
programs running. I had a major IE windows opening on there own problem but
I seemed to have fixed that issue. The other 2 computers on my home
hardwired network do not have this problem. I had my trend micro firewall
delete all allowed connections then had it prompt me for program access.
Nothing strange was prompted. Any help here?

Scott

Forgot to mention I am running XP media edition

Are you using hub or a switch to connect that computer to the
network? If it's a hub, you'll see traffic reaching all ports, even
if the traffic is only intended for one of them - but you say the
other computers don't have this problem...

.... so get yourself a copy of TCPView from MS/Sysinternals -
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sys...g/TcpView.mspx

Which will show you which processes are generating the traffic.

Failing that - look in your trend micro firewall's logs, or plug in a
sniffer.

I have a comcast cable modem and a linksys cable/dsl router and yes the
other 2 computers do not show constant activity.
