When looking at the Local Area Connection Status (accessed from Network
Connections menu) on the General tab under the Connection: heading, there
are normally three values: Status, Duration, and Speed). Occasionally,
lately, a fourth has been appearing internittently that reads, "Signal
Strength", but gives no number. As far as I know I do not have a wireless
internet card installed on my computer, nor is it IR capable. I'm running a
Sony Vaio PCV-RX850, 2.4G P4, 512MB, 80G HD, SB Audigy 2, Onboard SiS
graphic accelerator (crappy 32M shared with sys mem.), ATI TV WonderVE, and
Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC. There are also two 1394
connections listed in the Conenctions Menu. Has anyone heard of this? What
does the Signal Strength refer to? Is it possible that my system security
has been compromised? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
