how do I monitor the ip address my computer is up/downloading from

[Errol]

My Netmeter shows traffic in and out without my instruction - about 10mb
uploaded and 60 to 80 mb downloading per day. How do I find the ip addresses
being accesssed. I want to know where it is sending to ! or getting from !

You can open a command prompt window and use the built-in program
"netstat" to see all the network connections at the current time. Use

netstat -p TCP

to show you just the TCP/IP connections, which are probably the most
interesting in your case. Use netstat /? to see all the options in case
you want to look at other things.

For longer term constant monitoring, look at TCPView, free from

Wireshark will give you this information.

But it's not for the feint hearted; learning curve can be longish.
