What are all these TCP/IP processes?
I'm cross-posting this widely as I'm unsure where the experts on this
sort of rather obscure question might be found. I'm trying to discover the cause of intermittent high CPU activity by explorer.exe. This seems to run at 2-6% when I'm not doing anything significant. One tool I use to help me isolate this is Process Monitor (ProcMon). Running it (filtered to show only explorer.exe processes, there are of course many diff rent types of entry displayed in its output after a few seconds. But one mixture that seems to crop up frequently is as shown in this screenshot, with countless hundreds of similar repetitions of these. http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s...P-Activity.jpg Can anyone tell me what these are please? Are they contributing significantly to CPU usage and is there anything I can do to reduce that? I'd be happy to present any other information that might be helpful. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK

Hi
As far as the TCP/IP stack is concerned, you can learn better about the excessive traffic through it by using this Utility. If there is No excessive traffic while idle, what ever you experience is probably not directly related to the network. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb897437.aspx Jack (MS, MVP-Networking).

Thanks Jack, but I reckon that's way beyond my technical know-how level! I've just run it while PC is virtually idle, but I don't have much of a clue how to interpret its output. The program's sparse Help just tells me: "When you start TCPView it will enumerate all active TCP and UDP endpoints, resolving all IP addresses to their domain name versions." Means almost nothing to me I'm afraid. My uninformed guess is that the output does *not* show excessive activity. Does that look the case to you please? (Firefox is running with about 40 tabs open, and my PPC is connected so wcescomm and WCESMgr are running, but there's no significant 'internet activity' initiated by me.) -------------------- [System Process]:0 TCP terry-intel:3143 xml.weather.com:http TIME_WAIT [System Process]:0 TCP terry-intel:3144 x.imwx.com:http TIME_WAIT [System Process]:0 TCP terry-intel:3145 xml.weather.com:http TIME_WAIT [System Process]:0 TCP terry-intel:3146 x.imwx.com:http TIME_WAIT agent.exe:1872 TCP terry-intel:3100 individual.net:nntp ESTABLISHED agent.exe:1872 TCP terry-intel:3101 individual.net:nntp ESTABLISHED agent.exe:1872 TCP terry-intel:3102 individual.net:nntp ESTABLISHED agent.exe:1872 TCP terry-intel:3104 individual.net:nntp ESTABLISHED alg.exe:2212 TCP TERRY-INTEL:1036 TERRY-INTEL:0 LISTENING firefox.exe:6056 TCP TERRY-INTEL:1910 localhost:1911 ESTABLISHED firefox.exe:6056 TCP TERRY-INTEL:1911 localhost:1910 ESTABLISHED firefox.exe:6056 TCP TERRY-INTEL:1912 localhost:1913 ESTABLISHED firefox.exe:6056 TCP TERRY-INTEL:1913 localhost:1912 ESTABLISHED jqs.exe:428 TCP TERRY-INTEL:5152 TERRY-INTEL:0 LISTENING jqs.exe:428 TCP TERRY-INTEL:5152 localhost:1914 CLOSE_WAIT lsass.exe:792 UDP TERRY-INTEL:isakmp *:* lsass.exe:792 UDP TERRY-INTEL:4500 *:* MailWasher.exe:3996 UDP TERRY-INTEL:1042 *:* rapimgr.exe:1908 TCP TERRY-INTEL:990 TERRY-INTEL:0 LISTENING rapimgr.exe:1908 TCP TERRY-INTEL:990 localhost:3067 ESTABLISHED rapimgr.exe:1908 TCP TERRY-INTEL:990 localhost:3065 ESTABLISHED rapimgr.exe:1908 TCP TERRY-INTEL:990 localhost:3070 ESTABLISHED rapimgr.exe:1908 TCP TERRY-INTEL:990 localhost:3069 ESTABLISHED SAgent2.exe:264 UDP terry-intel:2051 *:* svchost.exe:1080 TCP TERRY-INTEL:epmap TERRY-INTEL:0 LISTENING svchost.exe:1228 UDP TERRY-INTEL:ntp *:* svchost.exe:1228 UDP terry-intel:ntp *:* svchost.exe:1384 UDP TERRY-INTEL:1900 *:* svchost.exe:1384 UDP terry-intel:1900 *:* System:4 TCP TERRY-INTEL:microsoft-ds TERRY-INTEL:0 LISTENING System:4 TCP terry-intel:netbios-ssn TERRY-INTEL:0 LISTENING System:4 UDP TERRY-INTEL:microsoft-ds *:* System:4 UDP terry-intel:netbios-dgm *:* System:4 UDP terry-intel:netbios-ns *:* wcescomm.exe:1196 TCP TERRY-INTEL:1026 TERRY-INTEL:0 LISTENING wcescomm.exe:1196 TCP TERRY-INTEL:5679 TERRY-INTEL:0 LISTENING wcescomm.exe:1196 TCP TERRY-INTEL:7438 TERRY-INTEL:0 LISTENING wcescomm.exe:1196 TCP TERRY-INTEL:3065 localhost:990 ESTABLISHED wcescomm.exe:1196 TCP TERRY-INTEL:3066 localhost:7438 ESTABLISHED wcescomm.exe:1196 TCP TERRY-INTEL:3067 localhost:990 ESTABLISHED wcescomm.exe:1196 TCP TERRY-INTEL:3069 localhost:990 ESTABLISHED wcescomm.exe:1196 TCP TERRY-INTEL:3070 localhost:990 ESTABLISHED wcescomm.exe:1196 TCP TERRY-INTEL:3071 localhost:999 ESTABLISHED wcescomm.exe:1196 TCP TERRY-INTEL:3072 localhost:5678 ESTABLISHED wcescomm.exe:1196 TCP TERRY-INTEL:3073 localhost:5678 ESTABLISHED wcescomm.exe:1196 TCP TERRY-INTEL:7438 localhost:3066 ESTABLISHED WCESMgr.exe:4820 TCP TERRY-INTEL:26675 TERRY-INTEL:0 LISTENING WCESMgr.exe:4820 TCP TERRY-INTEL:999 TERRY-INTEL:0 LISTENING WCESMgr.exe:4820 TCP TERRY-INTEL:999 localhost:3071 ESTABLISHED WCESMgr.exe:4820 TCP TERRY-INTEL:5678 localhost:3072 ESTABLISHED WCESMgr.exe:4820 TCP TERRY-INTEL:5678 localhost:3073 ESTABLISHED -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK
