Hi,
I am new in the group and make my first experience with ethereal.
We have difficulties with one of our severs. The response time is too slow. Now we checked the network (a commercial company 3000$) and on the network is all ok. No packets are destroyed and the bandwidth is working with less than 20% of the capability.
Now I logged the traffic on our Windows 2003 server (192.168.0.12) and I was very surprised that 99,9 percent of the traffic is smb. Sometimes I can see some TCP or ARP packets.

Now my question: Can this be normal or do I have a virus/trojan ? I checked both computers with Symantec. All OK.

Many thanks for your help.
Uli
