Hi,

Since the recent windows xp update my connection lights icon in the task bar
is always on indicating either download, upload or both.

I run my system with automatic updates and background intelligent services
disabled and usually there is no activity unless it's me.

I have checked running processes and start-up items and all is normal.

Any ideas what is going on and more importantly how to stop it?

cheers

Andy
 
by connection lights do you mean the 2 little computers representing a dialup
connection or are you using 3rd party software
do you use a firewall ? are you on dialup/adsl or cable ?
i use du meter to monitor all in/out activity, try something like it and you
can see how much traffic your pc is sending receiving
 
PROBLEM RESOLVED:

I used the tried and tested windows xp fix all solution.

Shutdown, leave over night and then switch on.

Gotta love the randomness of winxp ;)
