Need help narrowing down a problem. win2k sp3 all necessary updates
Whenever I use any program and do a file- save as, there is about a 30 second delay.
The first time this happend was when I copied some text from a form into notepad and notepad tried to connect to the net (Sysgate Personal firewal 5.0), which was weird because I have copied text into notepad from web pages a million times before and notepad never required access before. Now with microsoft word I could understand, but not notepad. I scanned my whole system using avg virus scandwith newest upate. I checked my system with ad=aware, newest database. I stopped every service that was stoppable. I also tried repair IE just in case it was an ie thing. I tried disable services. Nothing is helping.
Now here is some more info. If I restart the computer, everything will work fine until I connect to the net. However since I have dialup I decided to check something. Since I knew notepad was trying to connect to the internet, I set my internet options to always dial a connection. I think opened notepad and tried to file>save as, and it tried to dialup a connection. Also notepad isn't the only program that is doing this. Any program will cause this.
I checked my firewall and it reports that whenever I try to save as, the application that I am using tries to connect rtfm.mit.edu and ip address 18.181.0.29 . Of course I cannot find any thing relating to that in the registry. I also deleted my temp files, and checked my downloaded program files to make sure there was nothing funky in there.
Just not sure what's going on but whenever the program trys to connect to mit, it does it through services and control app, which I now have blocked until I figure out what is goin on.
these programs only try to access the net, when I file; save as. Even IE does it.
Any help would be appreciated.
