How do you tell what processess are running under svchost?
The reason I ask is I have an svchost task that tries to
attempt to access the net(have my firewall alerting set on
high and see it) every time the computer boots up. What I
have recently changed:
I just set up a home network of 2 windows xp home
computers. Cable modem into router to which the 2
computers are connected.
Before the network became active this svchost never
happened so I am very inclined to think that it is just a
normal process for the network but I just want to be 100%
sure.
Thanks
 
It's a generic process starter that starts multiple items. It's not
uncommon to see several instances of it running. You could use the services
console to view which services use them, then shut them off one at a time.

What port is srvhost trying to use?
 
Hi Rob thanks for the response, honestly I am not sure I
am not near the computers right now that are in question
(am currently at work), but will look at the ports and at
services to check to make sure everything is on the up and
up with the processes.
