Hello,
I have my desktop pc configured with a static ip of 192.168.1.50 / 255.255.255.0
my gateway is 192.168.1.1. this is my 3com ethernet card tcp/ip properties.
However i just noticed in the "internet connection" window, i notice one connection called
the "Internet Gateway" connection. the thing that concerns me about this connection is, that it is constantly sending and receiving packets. im up to 2 billion + packets received so far. I selected the "show icon in notification area" and its constantly sending and receiving packets (literally non-stop both sending and receiving, no matter what). However, my LAN connection is not... (i typically see the send and recieve lights for this one only light up as i load a new web page etc)
I have "show icon in notification area" selected for both connections.
I have no wireless card on my desktop and only one nic.
Can anyone help to explain, if i disable this connection, it restarts by itself after 30 seconds or so, and why its constantly sending and receiving packets.
these two connections are:
name:internet connection / type:internet gateway / status:connected,firewalled / firewalled / device name: internet connection
name:HomeNet / type:LAN High speed internet / status:connected,firewalled / firewalled / device name: 3Com EtherLink 10/100
