Hi all,

I have a wireless router/telewest modem setup and am using a USB 'dongle' on my main PC to connect to the network and Internet.

What's annoying me, and worrying me, is that although I can have no programs open that connect to the Internet, the network connection icon in the tray is constantly flashing and or solid. The LED on the dongle is also flashing away as if there's heavy Internet usage.

What can I do to find out what's causing this? Is it something to worry about? I regularly check for spyware and viruses and have Zonealarm installed but nothing comes up on searches.

Here's hoping someone can help!

G.
