Hey guys,

My internet keeps on overloading and i did a netstat and i found out that programs like google chrome or firefox are using like 20 established connections!!!

How do i stop them from doing this because it is killing my internet!

Thanks
Chris

That can happen with some routers, basically the router runs out of memory and starts to fail until a reboot.
Netstat -b or currports ( http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/cports.html ) will tell you what's actually on the end of those open connections.

try running netstat -a -o it'll give you the process ID of whatever is using that connection and you can track it down in the processes tab of windows task manager, if it doesnt show you the process id (PID) go to view at the top, select columns and put a tick in the PID box, tech support told me I'd got way too many processes running once and said I must be using p2p software or be infected with virus/spyware, turned out once I checked it was a program I use called Xfire, a games messaging program that does use p2p technology to download patches for games.

netstat -bn

is best - you will see all the ips and port numbers (no lookups) and the process exe.

Ok, well RPS which is PCGuard is taking up a lot, how do i stop this?

Surely it doesn't need 10 connections??
Surely Chrome didn't need 20!

Thanks

Because i phone up virgin and the guy said that i had way too many establishd connected. He also pinged the modem with my pc plugged in and without it plugged in. The ping was very slow with mine plugged in and normal when it wasn't

So somethings up

The guy is talking mince, XP by defaults has 30-40 connection that are local, they got a shock when they tried that on me and i said bit hard when it brand new isntalled machine
