The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How determine which process is overtaxing network / internet access?

Asked by dgrrr in DSL Lines / Cable Internet, HijackThis Software, New Internet Users

Tags: process, network, which, accessing, determine

I have windows XP home sp2, connected to a linksys voip router (rtp31p2), connected to a comcast cable modem. There are 2 other computers on thisnetwork. There is no wireless.

My internet is slow, and something I believe may be uploading or downloading stuff.

I turned off my torrent programs, no help.

Hijackthis says everything is kosher. (programs running & installed)

Zonealarm firewall says is blocking anywhere from 3 to 20 intrusion attempts every second.

I installed "NET Traffic Meter 1.4" but I don't know how to use it to find a problem.

I'm running spybot & adaware just to be safe.

On MY computer, pinging 4.2.2.2 gives me an avergage of 23 ms.
Numion.com says upload and download speeds are about 1,000 kilobits/sec.

On a different computer on the same network, pinging 4.2.2.2 gives me an average speed of 21ms
Numion.com says upload is 1,000+ kilobits/sec, download is 4,000+ kilobits/sec
______

(1) Is there a way to assess which INDIVIDUAL process (or other thing?) is using up the internet or network resurces, much the same way task manager can show you which process is using RAM or CPU or Virtual Memory resources?

(2) Is there a program that monitors this stuff OVER TIME, for one or more computers? So I can see a graph of what the upload / download activity was for a given PC, for the last 24 hours (for example?)

(3) what is the normal amount of data kB/s to be uploading or downloading on a Windows XP computer, assuming the user is NOT downloading anything that he's aware of?

(4) Is there a better way to go about this? (e.g. use the ROUTER maybe?)

Thanks EE people!
