i found that if i did either of these things it stopped but then it ment that i couldnt use the net till i restarted then it starts all over again the first thing i did was disconnected and stoped sending and reciving the other thing i did was ctrl+alt+del to see what processess was running i clicked on one of the svchost.exe and killed it and that stopped it to but it would no longer connect to the internet or use themes till i restarted. i tried reinstalling xp over the top but made no diff does any one have any ideas as to why this is doing this to my machine. thanx deathy |

There is always data flowing around the network, what type of network is it..winxp could just be checking for scheduled takss on the other comps, if it's a cable modem there are always some multicast packets being thrown out, just get a firewall and as long as the network traffic is just small stuff your fine.

There's all sorts of things like broadcasts for shares, xp auto-updates, time-sync that try to use the network.
It's fairly normal. What is your % of load under device manager/network? |

Yes, if it doesn't affect performance (like hogging the CPU or slowing the network considerably) don't bother.
Maybe it's something in the server? |

In that casae, I would recommend a format and fresh install. Be careful with what you put on the system.
