I fired up my computer 40 minutes ago and right after I logged on I was called away by the wife to do man stuff around the house. Upon arriving back at my computer I happened to notice alot of network activity. I was somewhat stymied by the fact that when I tried to check the status of the internet connection in the network connections properties, it would load then immediately disappear. Strange.
Checking the network bridge status reveals that I've sent over 2MB of data over the network in the 40 minutes my computer was sitting idle. I find this to be somewhat shocking. Any way to tell what's being sent and where it's going? Inquiring minds want to know!
I'm running windows xp professional and have installed the most recent version of zone alarm. I'm sitting behind a dlink 614+ wireless router (connected to a lan port, not wireless on this machine).
Thanks y'all.
Where are all the bytes going?

drop a packet sniffer on your box and monitor your traffic for awhile to get a better sense of what's going on.
