My internet has been acting strange recently, and I don't know why. Here's some examples...
1] My LAN icon beside the clock almost always has both the screens lit up [ incoming/outgoing ].
2] I've been connected for 20:18:20 and my Packets Sent and Received are abnormally high, 1,548,414 / 1,342,829. They never go that high on such a short connection.
3] [ if anyone is familiar with this... ] My Warcraft III Banlist isn't sending or receiving any Warcraft III packets..." No incoming WC3 packets received yet. No outgoing WC3 packets received yet. "
4] I've been getting a lot of lag on Warcraft too.


I've run a virus scan, and nothing has come up. Any ideas on what's making my internet act up? I'm running a 10Mbps Ethernet, on a LAN. I'm not the host computer, but I'm one of 2 branches off the host.

Take it this is broadband? Try leaving the router you use off for three minutes, turnall machines that are connected to it off, then after 3 minutes turn just the router back on, leave that for 5 mins and then turn on all the machines, just refreshes the connection and re establishes the strength of the connection, if this still doesnt work let us know and we will concoct another remidy!

Yeah, I reset the router yesterday, I've been on for 1 day, 5 hours, and 30 minutes, and my packets are 273,490/315,649 which is a huge difference.

Thanks for the input anyway.
