I've been noticing some weird activity IMO.even with NIS blocking traffic I'm still seeing network activity .(See attachments)
Anyone see anything out of the norm ,I'll try scans (virus,spyware ,malware etc ,but thought I'd post here in hopes of getting a response sooner than all the scans are going to take .
Cable internet and the activity stops if I physically remove the cat5 cable.
?
NIS does not offer option of blocking all network traffic then
Displaying/pop-up any/all outgoing attempts?
I still use an old Sygate Pro version and it sends out a pop-up every time something tries to access then net...
Yep and with it set to block all(attachment below) ,I'm still seeing "Bytes received" attachment in first post.I've cleaned up a few things via Spybot S&D and shutdown via Msconfig etc.. and still I'm recieving bytes.?
That does not sound right at all.
I've just looked at my software firewall,
and there has been no activity unless links are clicked and the like...
Does NIS block Windows activity as well?
I am guessing by your Task Manager list that you are running Windows Server?

An updated Taskmanager (since I shutdown/removed some programs)
I'm not running any Server that I know of and I'm the only user/admin access accounts. The second attachment in my first post shows its only "received Bytes" .Most of the contents of the taskmanager are my Norton Firewall (NIS) and Norton AV ,those are the only things in my taskbar,Prevx and logitech are shutdown (not sure why they are still showing as I've rebooted )
Is it posible to see where that activity is coming from?I'm wondering if my ISP is pinging to see if the signal is strong,I had some issues early Dec. that they said showed a weak signal and were out doing line work in the area.I'm now wondering if this may be something of their doing.
Motorola Surfboard SB5101 anyway to access an onboard menu?(off to google)
Sorry, not familiar with NIS.
My old Sygate Pro can display all inbound, outbound connections, apps attempting to access net and backtraces IPs if desired.
Just downloaded and quick browse of the NIS 2006 manual.
It does not appear to have advanced controls.
If you are using a router,
You could enable/check its' logs to see the IPs involved.
Once that is done,
You can do a corresponding IP search as to where/what is involved.
If not,
All I can suggest at this point in time is to use another software firewall temporarily to obtain the desired info.
Well I did find more advance feature in NIS that Shows zero activity inbound or out when I "block all" or don't open a Browser window,so I'm a little more relieved.The WTM>networking shows activity of less than .2% ,with options>auto scale ,the line graph magnifies the highs/lows ,so it looks worse than it is I guess :shrug:I wouldn't think it should show any activity ,but maybe there is line noise or some such?
Thanks for the help Shinma

No, I really don't think line noise should appear on a software firewall monitor.
But then again, *shrug* it is NIS...
Actually its Windows Task Manager>network thats showing activity (second attachment first post) NIS is showing zero bytes in/out,and as we all know MS isn't infallible .
