constant inbound traffic

[dentarthurdent]

Hi,

just curious... I just installed conky and noticed that there is steady inbound traffic ~75Kb/sec. system monitor shows the same thing. i have no programs open... is this just ubuntu maintaining a connection to check for updates or something? i'm currently connected via wired connection, but could this be ubuntu scanning wireless connections?

open up a terminal and do a
netstat
that should show you all your connections and where they're going.

oh, thanks. i did that, but i'm not sure what i'm looking at, nor what i should be looking for? pardon my ignorance. should i post the result of the netstat?

any ideas from the above netstat, or other things i should check? would a trojan on the LAN i'm on be trying to send me packets non-stop?

I'm suprised nothing was listed as LISTENING in your netsttat. To verify try netstat -anltp.

You could also install bmon, to see if there is traffic to and from any particular ip addresses.

ok, here is netstat -anltp

Hrmm. Cups is for printing services. I can't imagine that creating a steady stream of inbound traffic, even if you were using it to share a printer.
