Network card on my laptop

Published on March 8, 2005 By XX In PC Hardware

For some reason, for a while now, it has this really weird problem.

Right now, it has 2,130,000,000,000 approx packets sent and 759 packets recived. Why does it happen? No, my switcher is not consantly flashing so it's not due to some virus or spyware.

In a short time while I'm typing this, it's now approx 2,178,000,000,000.

Either I has some insanely fast connection or I has some major network problem.

IF the computer is trying to connect to a network that is managed, say a corporate or university network, your MAC address has been blocked by the network for suspicious network traffic (ie a virus) and needs to be reenabled by the admins. I work for a university and have seen this problem often.

Huh? My problem is not related to being blocked from other sites. Problem is 10 trillion packets SENT and only 100k packets received, and ethereal don't see any of those extra packets. I suspect something related to counting packets is messed up.
