Hi Christoph,

 

    You can use a program like

a) TcpView() -- http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/tcpview.shtml to identify

the culprit program which is doing excessive ARP protocol.

 

After you identify the the offending program, uninstall it.

 

To prevent future problems, see this page -- http://www.firewallguide.com/

It's a good idea to use a firewall like

a) ZoneAlarm(www.zonelabs.com)

Dear Sirs and Mesdames,

 

I hope you could help me. Yesterday I installed etheral to oberseve my Cable-Modem-Internet connection. Why? Since a cuple of weeks I can see flashing lights on my modem - indicating network traffic - but no program ist open nor the IE is running. My provider shows me 1 GB of upload. Hmm. Etheral showed me, that when all known web-applications on my PC are closed, 100 % of entwork traffic come from using the ARP-Protokol, broadcasting somthing like "who is" or "hihi..."? How can I identify the source of the traffic and how can I stop it? 

It would be great to hear from you.

 

Many thanks

Christoph
