Hi All
I've got WinXP Pro with SP1 and all the latest web updates as of today.
When I connect my PC to my office's network and basically don't do anything,
the activity monitor (ie the one with the 2 blue tvs in the system tray) is
what I call quiet in that it only blips a few times every now and then.
If I go home and plug the exact same PC into my home network and don't do
anything, which is basically my PC plugging into the same adsl 4 port
hub/router/modem to get broadband, the activity is buzzing all the time. I
can see about a MBs of data bouncing back and forth in a couple of mins.
My Zone Alarm doesn't say any program is trying to do anything, but
obviously something is.
The funny thing is that if I set WinXP's firewall on then the activity
stops, but in order for me to connect to my office network I have to keep
unchecking this Firewall because it blocks the network and I can't gain
access (another problem I would also like to resolve).
Has anybody else experienced this?
Any ideas how to resolve it?
