I have no clue what Glenn means by protocol analyzer, but I would just tcpdump the connection to check the traffic. That should give you an idea if everything is normal or if your email server is being used for spam, someone if someone is running kazaa, etc... Kazaa is one of those programs that share files over the internet so you can copy programs/music/movies from the internet. You can check if someone is running it by finding out what ports it uses to connect and checking if there are connections to those ports. There might be a better way, but that's the way I would do it of the top of my head! ; ) Regards, Eduardo Herrmann de Freitas -----Mensagem original----- De: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Em nome de Rod Enviada em: quarta-feira, 1 de outubro de 2003 10:54 Para: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: John Vetter Assunto: [windows2000] Re: What could be slowing down our Internet acc Glenn, I have no idea what a protocol analyzer is, and I am certain no one else here does, either. (Although I am sure you are correct, that this would help.) What is Kazaa? And how do I determine if anyone is running it?
