I am not sure if the is the right forum or not, but i know you linux
guys are smart so i'll ask you... I have been monitoring some strange
traffic on our network. We have a couple of computers that even when
idle are creating a lot of traffic. for one of these computers, we
did a clean install of the os, put a new network card and turned it
back on, and we had the same issue. also we are getting some strange
outbound traffic on our router. how can we find out what is going on?
what is the next step? Here is some of the router log... Thanks in
advance, Cal

Yup, M$ boxes tend to be quite chatty, the usual netbios-ns and
microsoft-ds crap you'll see any day if you log way to much,
nothing I'd worry about. Simply unplug all M$ boxes from your LAN
as next step if you don't like it.

Good luck

BTW
There doesn't seem to be a single Linux system involved.
