Networking Problem
Some weird problems have been coming up within my home network and i was wondering if anyone had any ideas?
First off, im using windows xp pro, with the internet sharing basically i bridged the incoming internet (from cable modem) to the network card from my sisters computer (win2k pro).
It basically stopped working today, the connections are still fine, i can ping no problem, also still view her on network neighbourhood.
Maybe this has another relation to the problem within the last week or so theres been a new icon in Network Connections, its called 'Sympatico Access Manager on STEVEN-M04KCKUP'. The other icons are Incoming internet Connection, and local area network connection 1.
I dont know where that came from, i cant disable or delete it. I go into properties and it allows me to add and remove certain services. Starts off with like internet mail access protcol, msmsgs, and about a hundred other services.
Could this be a hacker?
And another thing which may be affected. Within the last few days theres been this window popping up about every hour which reads something along the lines of Remote Procedure Call failure. Computer will now restart in 45 secs. And it does that about every 45mins.
So what do you guys think? Any suggestions?
