Just finished my new build, but i'm having some strange problems with my dialup connection.
the connection itself is working just fine, but there is constant traffic, even when the system is idle, and i can't force it down by running other stuff. trust me, i know what this normally means, but i have now installed:
ZoneAlarm
Ad-Aware
Spybot S&D
Windows Firewall
and its still happening! none of them can find the problem. i've even gone down through the processes menu and just started shutting stuff down...nothing worked. theres nothing on the startup menu, or anywhere else i can think of. i can't play any of my MMO's with this crap, i just laaaaaaag and the link drops. download transfer rates are horrendus, as low as they already are =P, and web pages creep, blah blah blah. i'm just baffled that none of that software can find whatever this is, particulaly zone alarm. it seems to want to stop everything BUT whatever the heck that is.
Can anyone PLEASE help me out? btw, there are absolutly no other system effects that i have noticed.
