50Mbps outbound traffice from Port 80. Help!

[Chris]

I am running a Win2000 server as a web server. Yesterday, data center
talked to me that my server has unTsual outbound traffic from Port80. It
send a huge amount of outbound traffic to other servers on my network. The
outbound traffic almost reached 50Mb per second. My data center has cut my
bandwidth to 10M half until I can solve this problem.

Please help and advise me what the possible reason why the web server
generate so much outbound traffic to other servers on my network. P,S. It
is the traffice inside the network.

Thanks,
Chris

Use a protocol analyzer like Wireshark (formerly Ethereal) www.wireshark.org
, to examine the traffic. There is a nice little tutorial link on the
Wireshark home page.

Or block port 80 and see what breaks.

From what I understand somebody is downloading really fast from your web
server. Do a simple NETSTAT -NA and check with what servers from your
network you have open connections.
Then go to those servers and check them.
