It's not annoying. Anyone who is annoyed can just skip
it -- that's there problem as long as you are on topic (at
least somewhat.)
What were you doing? Were you downloading or visiting
web sites only? (Most of these might give you roughly
equal packet counts since you would acknowledge most
each packet sent to you.)
What did netstat (or better Fport from FoundStone.Com)
show?
What are you running? Tlist? (ResKit) of PSList from
SysInternals.com will help here.

1.why am i "receiving 0 packets"
hey i just completley installed xp pro and a brand new
linksys ethernet adapter. everything was installed
correctly and everything is working correctly according
to windows. the lights on the back of the nic light up
and windows picks up the Lan. However i can not use the
internet. status says i am sending out tons of packets
but receiving 0. however it shows up taht i am connected
to the internet. i know it is not my cable modem because
when i plug the cable modem directly into my laptop it
works. the cable modem is plugged directly into the
desktop and it is not working. I am not using a router.
the nic card is also working properly i was on the phone
with linksys for like 2 hours, we even pinged the nic
from dos and it showed it was working correctly. someone
please help me. thank you

2.Packets sent vs Packets received
Under my "Local Area Connection Status" there is the heading of "Activity"
and under that heading is of course "Packets".
Currently as I type the number of packets sent is 17,643,725,698,059.
The number of packets received is 70,472. To me, the one whos picture
appears next to the word novice in the dictionary, this looks way wrong. Is
it? If so, how can I correct this problem? Currently my Norton Internet
Security is turned of as well as my Windows Firewall. I thought one of these
two might have something to do with my issue.
I welcome an answer from anyone.
3.why is ya'll sending me messages and i am about to send ya'll some messages back
4.My network properties say I am sending TRILLIONS of packets
When I go into the properties of the network icon, I get
an indication that hundreds of millios of packets are
being sent by my pc through my network! Over time this
number reaches a trillion. Although the number resets
when I long off, it quickly jumps to 100,000,000 when I
log back in. Any thoughts?
(I have a simple home network connected to a cable
modem/router through a switch. )
Thanks for any advice!
