OS: win 2k
adsl modem: US Robotics - http://www.usr-emea.com/products/p-broadband-product.asp?loc=unkg&prod=bb-scusb-adsl

Problem: I can connect, some days the connection runs more consistant than others, but on most days the connection will always start sending data more than its receiving. The upload rate is maxed out, I'm not downloading anything. Maybe I'm being hacked, I don't know, I have installed the latest drivers too.

Is this a common problem? Is there a way to see where this data is going? Is there a way I can reset the connection without having to reset PC? I've disabled the PPP and network connections, then re-enabled them to see if this helps - nada.

you're running a firewall, current virus scanner etc. etc. I trust?

you can use the free, open source graphical packet sniffer ethereal to see what you're sending out onto the wire.

no firewall

McAfee (have to use this - company reasons)

Thanx for link, will check it out
