About five minutes ago I realized our network was at a snails crawl, I ran a couple of bandwidth test to verify it. I have determined the problem, someone is hacking into our server and setting ping to run as a process and it is flooding our network. This is the second time I have noticed it happening. Does anyone know how to log these events to see who is doing it. You can't tell ping is running unless you go to taskmanager and click on processes. Thanks in Advance.

It's a virus running on your machine and using it to try to find other computers that are vulnerable by pinging constantly. I think it is the Blaster virus. Download the FixBlaster program to clean your computer of this virus. There is also a patch from Microsoft to fix the vulnerability in NT that allows a virus to do this.

Closing the barn door after the horses have gotten loose doesn't accomplish much. Give serious review to your internet access, antivirus and security policies [if you have one]

Thank you guys for your suggestions. I will look into this as as soon as possible. Manny

blaster is one of about TEN worms, don't assume that fixblaster will correct everything. you NEED to have a good av program with up top date definitions along with up to date OS patches installed
