| [XP] A Question about packets sent/recieved
Does this look right? I just reinstalled XP with the only programs installed was roboform and Yahoo mess and SP3 installed It was working fine then all of a sudden my internet was SLOW. Like 5 mins to NEVER on pulling up just my home page MSN!
I have Centurytel DSL with a westel dls router with a linsys 54g Wireless router.The computer I'm using is connecting wireless with a D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G DWL-G132 USB adaptor.Not sure what else ya mite need but here's a screen shot of the wireless connection showing the packets.Even when I disable and enable it the sent shows 500000 and the recieved show 5-6-7 and slowly works it was up.

Your connection is uploading a wad of packets, relative to download. For most people, that connection should be asymmetric, weighted toward "Received" packets, or, at worst symmetric (as mine is when I am running a BitTorrent download).
Asymmetric, weighted toward "Sent" packets suggests the possibility that your computer is compromised, and is part of a 'botnet, delivering malicious content to the Internet.

Mountain Home, AR | I have ran scan after scan from Trend Micro to AVG. Malwarebytes-spybot s&d - and a host of online scanners and they only find tracking cookies? I'm at a loss to what it is! |

I've seen similar problems with a NIC that was going bad. It was flooding the network with ARP requests and it killed network performance. It may not be a malware infestation, but faulty hardware (or driver). |
