Hi All,

Since I logged in this morning I've noticed a constant 5KB/s network traffic coming into my machine and a small increase in processor activity. This is exactly what I would expect if I was streaming radio, as I was last night. It may be significant that I inadvertantly let the laptop's battery discharge fully last night having fallen asleep listening to the radio stream.

Which tools do I need to use to identify what is causing this traffic in order to eliminate it (or realise that it's perfectly normal, of course!)

Cheers
Dylan
Ethereal (now known as Wire Shark) will let you examine the packets, to see what they are, along with addresses etc. It's included with SUSE, but I don't think it's installed by default.
