Looks like browser traffic.... do you recognise the
source and destination IP's?

I think it is this {WANCommonInterfaceConfig
HTTP/1.1..Content-Type: text/xml;} It seems to be in a few of the
ones I have looked at so far.

well
checking again now that I'm home from work... after 5 minutes it has
captured 6500 TCP packets! Mna there is something going crazy on my pc
sending and/or receiving packets. So being a total newbie how do I see what
it is sending these packets? there are also some HTTP and TLS here....

Well
thanks for the info. I'll check again tonight and see what kind of packets
they are. Maybe I was running a program at that time..... But I'll check
again.
That depends on
what type of packets they are. Cablemodems tend to have an awful lot of
ARP traffic, so if the majority of those packets are ARP packets (and
they are spread evenly over the 6 hour period) then this probably isn't
something to be concerned about. However, if your PC is moving large
amounts of data on a TCP/UDP port, then you need to make sure you know
which application is responsible.

Hey everybody, I am totally new to ethereal. I
just ran a random capture last night before I went to bed to see
what would happen. When I got up it had capture almost 250000 packets in
6 hours. Now I was wondering is this normal for a cable modem? Or
is my computer going crazy sending and receiving packets? I am on a
cable modem with winXP.
