Internet Usage Being Used Up By Unknown Source

Yea the stuff doesn't come up anymore. But as for the internet usage problem we will have to see.

 

Test the system and let me know

 

My internet is still being used; is that what you meant be testing the system?

 

Yes, and the speed. So uninstall Zoen Alarm changed nothing?

 

Constant speed of around 2MB/s and it fluctuates, i can't remember exactly but il let you know more accurately next time it happens. Zone Alarm didn't change anything.

 

Ok, let me know and we will go from there

In the meantime, please do this:

Anyway i have formated my computer reinstalled the OS because i want to see whether it's my computer causing the problem or another outside cause.
We will soon see and if it's still happening il try your previous comment. And if not problem solved.

I highly doubt that the second threat is a virus because it's part of a game on my external drive. But you never know i guess. But the first one i have know idea about.

 

Right, lets go back to basics here for now:-

You have a cable modem that then plugs into a router and then you connect PCs/Laptops to the router.
The cables that you are using 'should' be Cat5e not crossover.
look at the ends of each wire and compare it here
http://www.lanshack.com/make-cat5e.aspx

Cat5e has 8 wires not 4 (and they should match at either end) if they are different at either end its a crossover cable and not what you need, you need straight through cables.

if you are still unsure post a pic of the ends of the cables.

I dont think that your problem is malware/program related (ethernet anyway)

I think that we will find its something simple like this

 

I am unsure, do i have to take a picture of the Ethernet cable connecting to my compute,r or the one connecting to the modem, or both?
When taking the photo, do i need to take off the plastic bit to expose the wires?

Dalo reply required please.

Might have till wait till Monday though,

 

I see we speak the same dot language thank you for translating.

 

Dots !!!!! maybe I need to turn the magnification down lol :snckr:

 

Need your assistance dalo......

 

Looking back at his post, he explained the difference between the types of wires, and said if you are unsure then to post pictures of the ends of the wires.

By that he means, the ends of the ethernet cables you are using between your PC, the router and the modem.

If you look at the link he gave it shows images of the cables. You do not have to expose the wires, as if you look at the images it shows illistrations of both with and without the plastic ends. If you look at the plug at the end of the wire, you will see it has some tiny metal connectors, basically, count how many there are, in the pictures on the link he gave, there are 8 as shown in the images. Also check the colouring of the nternal wires at the end, that is assuming that the plug is see-through plastic.

If you are unsure, take a photo of both ends of each cable, and try make it clear enough to see the colours of the cables inside.

Also, look along the cable for some printed writing. It might say either Crossover or something similar. Anything to help us identify the type of cable that it is.

Hope this helps explain it a bit more.

 

Ok thank you polo.
I have Cat5e on both ends of the 2 wires.

Sorry not been back sooner

I was getting at the cables, due to the fact that a crossover cable would do what you have posted it would connect and then disconnect all the time.

If the cables at BOTH ends of each cable match then it's a straight through cable, if one of the ends colours are fitted in different ports then its a crossover.

Easiest way to tell is take the cable out and then bend put both ends next to each other and then see if each of the cables within the connectors matches (green split over the blue is the common method for CAT5e)
