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?)
