Hi i was just setting up a box that had winME on it and was in a bad need for a reformating so i put winXP on it and ever thing worked great but i was having some trouble installing their verision online DSL so instead of using verisions software i just used winXPs new internet connection and set it up to connect to verisons network throught that and it worked good but their was something weird their wear 2 internet connections one from the ethernet card and one for verison bolth sending and reciving packets, but if you shutdown one connection the otherone stoped 2 so i am guessing XP is just showing 2 connections for 1 actual connection at least i hope. and now for my real question when i installed AOL for them it was having trouble finding the internet connection and took some work to get it to work but then after it was installed it was workng very slowly not the computer but the internet connection and when i would look at the status the computer was showing that it was reciving 1,000 - 3,000 packets a second and sending that same as well i am guessing this is slowing down the internet connection but what could be causing this. it cant be a virus or or some other type of syp ware because it is a brand new install any ideas on what could be causing this.
