Oh yeah... I disabled all file sharing on all computers for now and
maybe permanently. And back to sneakernet. lol
Wow! I guess last night according to one of the users on the home
network, the following popped up.

So today when I learned of this, I discovered that there was 150kbps
traffic going in both directions. So I disabled the wireless
connection and of course it stopped. I disabled the Windows firewall
and install ZoneAlarm and re-enabled the wireless. No strange program
was accessing the computer, just normal Windows services and the
activity was back.
So I used Windows XP Home Edition System Restore to jump a few days
earlier. All strange activity stopped. But I could no longer disable
the wireless. As the following error message would pop up.

This had me worried, so I jumped about a week back and I still can't
disable the wireless. Well with ZoneAlarm all activity can be stopped,
so that is good. Even with ZoneAlarm, I don't know who the computer
was communicating with. Oh shoot (now that I think about it), I could
have used netstat to learn this, couldn't I?
A Virus scan with PC-cillin turned up nothing. So besides that I can't
turn off the wireless anymore (Error Disabling Connection), everything
seems back to normal. But I can restore back to the problem and I
really like to find who was accessing that computer. Any course of
action would be best? And any idea how I can disable the wireless
once again?
