Lately I've been having some unusual network traffic. I've checked with Network Monitor 3.4 and the process name is either svchost or system or unknown.How can I find out what generates the traffic ? There were mainly TCP packets, but others too.I don't expect to solve the problem for me, just want some guides that you might know of, or tools to analyze network traffic, or some info on how to interpret Network Monitor frame details.
While I'm playing Battlefield 2, I get a warning of a connection problem. This lasts about 4 seconds, then again about 3 seconds after that. This used to happen once every half hour or so, but its become much more frequent, to the point where the game is unplayable.
I have a network meter gadget on the desktop and I've noticed a spike in traffic at about the same intervals. At first, I thought it was Skype or Avast to blame, but I can count them out after stopping each one.
I need some way to log which program accesses the network at what time, so I can compare the spikes to the correct time and hopefully find the program responsible. Is this possible?
I purchased a new Dell XPS 17 and have previously been a long time user of XP. One big reason I am already not a fan of Windows 7 is because while some things have improved other things have gotten worse. By far this is the worst problem:
In XP my Duration online can be 1-2 days and would barely hit a million or a million and a half of packets for sent and outgoing individually. With the Same exact setup in Windows 7 what takes days in XP I experience in about 1 Hour in Windows 7!! As of right now I have over 19million outgoing packets! Similar for Received. What gives?? I have searched online and am hoping i'm not the only one with this issue.By the way I have an Intel 1000BGN Internal Adapter but I have it disabled and am using an Alfa AWUS036h b/g adapter. My router is a Netgear N300 WNR2000v2. I am experiencing very low speeds 1-5.5 and occasionally a stable 11mbps. I firmly believe this network traffic is causing both my low speeds and my random and frequent limited access / disconnections.
For the last week or so, my network traffic has seemed to be related to some pretty sever spikes in my CPU usage. These spikes are causing extreme stuttering in my music playback, freezing of my cursor, and other symptoms of a really laggy computer. This pretty much occurs whenever I use the internet in any way. The worst spikes are when I'm loading webpages in Google Chrome and seeding on uTorrent, often freezing my cursor and music for several seconds at a time, though they're not limited to those two softwares. Prior to this last week, I've never had this problem. My CPU usage never caused any stuttering or lag beyond just slow-running software, but now it's becoming a real issue to use my computer.

More recently, it seems that when I am loading pages in a browser, it's spiking CPU usage in bother the browser and even more so in the System process. It's becoming a real issue to use my computer.
On a side note, I've noticed that the displayed memory usage in the task manager (2.74 GB) is way more than what all the processes appear to add up to, usually by more than 1 GB.
I'm having very frustrating issues with my music library and trying to organize it to have the right album artwork. Here's the scenario below. Typical scenario1. Under the library tab every single option is unchecked, specifically "Retrieve Additional Information from the Internet" = UNCHECKED2. Browse to a folder containing 45 mp3 files. 44 are from one album. The last one is from another band with no album artwork. So it should display the generic music note symbol when I play it in WMP 12 correct? Well it DOES do this if I open it up first. HOWEVER IF3. First file opened in WMP creates a folder and AlbumArt jpeg.4. Subsequent files opened in that folder now use these jpegs displaying the wrong image for the mp3 file.Here's the thing, I do not want to keep occurring. WHY is it happening.ow do I make it stop most importantly of all? my media library littered with jpegs, I like my files to be portable with any art included within the file.NOTE: I've even tried making the entire Music folder "Read Only" which I think is very extremely and a higly retarded "solution" but at this point I'm so fed up I'm willing to try anything. However the "Read Only" option is a bunch of sh*t. It doesn't work. The folder.jpg is still being created by WMP and Windows 7 after I play a song within that folder.
Lately, at around 1 PM my time, the traffic of my connection is always 48 KB/s (i have 384 kbps internet connection),i see that is maximum speed i got. but the problem is everytime i browse, it's so slow.My download speed from JDownloader is also drastically decreased from maximum 48 KB/s to 5 KB/s max. so i guess something is using my bandwidth maybe it's a trojan, and how to monitor which site or program uses it with nice interface (i can't read machine language)?
We are building an 2 application that connect to 127.0.0.1:30303.They are used to send data from app A to app B, acting as a local p2p connection. On windows XP, everything runs as it should. On windows 7 it doesn't work anymore.We've tried turning off the firewalls, opening ports etc but we cannot get this connection to work on Windows 7. Anyone got an idea of what changed in Windows 7 regarding tcp/udp or socket changes?

"Is there possible in Windows Firewall to block all the internet traffic just by a few clicks?" I mean like the other firewalls just by selecting "Block all traffic"... (a right click on the tray and select this option) or (enter in the firewall window and click on a button -> Block all traffic). Is there a method or a button that i haven't discovered? Or there are some fast steps in which i can do this thing? I'm using Windows 7.
i've been spending ALOT of time reading and soaking up information, trying to learn as much as i can about how all this glorious tech stuff works..my next goal: to be able to determine how to identify which type of wifi i need to use, B/G/ or N so ive learned a fair bit about the IEEE 802.11 set of standards. From previous threads, i was instructed to make sure i only broadcast for the types of devices i have.
I have multiple users, all remote and I have another machine I need to load with Windows 7, I know one of the retail versions of windows 7 I have has yet to be used, just not sure which one..Other than walking all users through the process of checking product codes to find which one is not in use I was hoping there is a way online where I can enter the product keys and it will tell me which have been activated and which have not been?Anyway to do that?I know I can install one and try to activate it, but I also know if I format and reload a machine it will let me activate that version of windows as many times as I want on that machine to so it's not going to tell me if it's in use or not right away, instead it will just hose one or both machines if it is in use already
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate and my problem is windows cant determine ISO image,,it asking me to go internet....it started when i install Active@iso burner and burn some disk and after uninstalling Active@iso burner Windows 7 cant determine the ISO image file.
Is there an easy way to determine what files an installation has created ? More specifically i am interested in drivers that have been installed. I know i could do a 'before' and 'after' on various folders or i could turn on windows installer tracing but the product i'm interested in is ALREADY installed.
This is going to show what a novice Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit user I am. From previous information such as a 200 MB System Reserve area that this must be an early version. Since I've installed it I've downloaded all Microsoft updates. Can anyone tell me how to find the exactly what Windows I have, the SP level and revision. What is a K or a KM? I've never specifically was prompted to make this version change from a trial version. It has been authenticated by Microsoft.
How do I determine which is the speed of my AGP graphics card? I have a GTX 460 and I do not know at what speeds do. I tried to find it in the BIOS, and I failed. Motherboard MSI neo V2.
I've just assembled a pc using different parts from old computers. For some reason my pc will turn on, but my screen just stays black. I've tried several graphic cards, nothing. How do I determine if its really the motherboard failing without a screen ?
I have four USB ports on the front panel and four on the rear panel of the case. I have two "Enhanced" USB controllers. How can I determine which of the four USB front panel ports are USB 2.0 ??
I clicked on Device Manager > Universal Serial Bus controllers. Five members of the Intel 82801G (ICH7 Family) were listed. One of the five was described as a USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 27CC.
My PC has 3 USB ports. How can I determine which is the Enhanced port? What if I plugged a USB Hub into a port other than the enhanced one, would it work better or not at all?
I have a brand new computer that I just built with the following basic specs:

I'm just trying to figure out what exactly is hanging my reboots and shutdowns. I get to the shutting down screen in no time but it just sits there for like 2 minutes then shuts down or reboots. Obviously something that is not expected and kind of annoying.
My Windows Explorer keep "not responding" everytime I boot up my computer and click "My Computer" icon. This happen after I install Auslogics Boostspeed and Wintools.net. I have uninstalled both software but the problem still there. I end the process (explorer.exe)via Task Manager and re-run explorer. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it doesn't, or need to re-run the process to make it work.
Then, I switch to Safe Mode. Windows Explorer runs fine. Now, I know something that is running on "services.msc" cause the Windows Explorer to crashed. I downloaded SlimComputer from Softpedia.com and run its Optimizer. I set it to SuperCharged and some of the services changed to manual. I restart my computer and the problem solve. I change the setting again to its original, the problem appear again, then change to SuperCharged back, the problem fixed. How to determine which process/services is causing the Windows Explorer to crashed?
I clicked on Device Manager > Other Devices > Mass Storage Controller. Under Device Status it said, "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)."
I don't know what device they are talking about. All the storage devices on my PC seem to be working. Why does DM think there is a Mass Storage Controller at location PCI bus 7, device 1, function 2? I clicked on Update Drive - search failed to find a driver and suggested none needed. I clicked the Uninstall button and the message dissapeared until I rebooted the system.
Can somone tell me why Windows 7 might think there is a Mass Storage Controller on my PC?
2-week old Sony I7 laptop operating okay but slow and odd things not working correctly. Example is selecting START-Printers & Devices..>No icons shown despite working printers, external drives, etc..Slow overall considering horsepower of system and since OEM software my backup boot disks self-created likely to have same errors? I have run Cleaner which I have now read although fine product that it is NOT recommended to run any. Question is is it best to get all registry errors corrected by smart tech folks or just bite bullet and get a known good Win 7 disk and install it new?
i m trying to link my hearing aides to my blu tooth capable devices.Can anyone tell me how to determine if my Acer Aspire 5742 has blu tooth and how do i turn it on?
I have a peculiar issue where I would need to have "Network and Sharing Center" open to be able to see that my my laptop's wireless connection. I would see the signal bar and also see the dreaded red x.Even when I have it open, I can see it refreshing each second; like its losing connection and reestablishing.My internet connection is working and has no issues.

I'm having difficulty trying to get my new Windows 7 pc set up to share files across my existing home (wired) network which consists of 1 desktop pc running WinXP and 1 laptop running WinXP.I want the 'C' drive on each of the 3 computers to be shared. I've had the 2 Windows XP computers set up and working like this for several years without a problem but I can't seem to get the 'C' drive on the Windows 7 computer to do the same.All 3 computers have the same workgroup name and none of them require passwords to log on to Windows. There are no problems with the firewalls on any of the machines.On the Windows 7 PC when I right click on the 'C' drive and select the 'Sharing' tab, I have set this up to be shared and when I click on the 'Advanced Sharing' button there is a tick in the 'Share this folder' box, the 'Share name' is 'C'. If I then click on the 'Permissions' button, this shows a 'Group or user name' 'Everyone' and this group has Full Control, Change and Read boxes ticked. As far as I can see there is nothing more I can do.
However from my Windows XP computer, when I go to My Network Places and double click on the icon for the Windows 7 'C' drive, I get the message "\Computername is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.The network path was not found"I've subsequently set up a sub folder (of the Windows 7 'C' drive) for sharing by right clicking on the folder, choosing 'Share with' and then selecting 'Specific people'. I then set up a group called 'Everyone' with read/write permissions. Now I can navigate to this folder from my 2 WinXP computers.
