Thanks Nigel
I didn't save the capture so I have done another one. Looks like it's a
general KDE or Linux thing. The router has an adsl modem built in so I assume
the arp transmissions are just to check what's connected to it.
I have run ethereal first thing after a reboot before anything else has run.
The captures then just show the arp transmission. This time I had been using
the web so the dns queries after them are different.
Note the korean whois. It's something we could all do from time to time to
help make the web a better place. There has been a number of spam emails
about recently that ask for ebay or bank details usually claiming a server
upgrade or something. They stick a gif over the link to a spoof web site.
Sometimes the gif is a link to the correct one on a legitimate web site. I
forward them marked Fraud to abuse@<their isp>. A search for <country whois>
sometimes helps there when the usual whois services don't give full
information.
May seem pointless to some but the ebay one caught a lot of people out.
Regards
John

Hi John. Sorry for the delay. Can you send me a bit of the capture from
Ehtereal? Perhaps about 100 entries. I'll try to see what I can make of it.
Don't worry about the ARP stuff. Thats just checking if the other machine,
or in your case, the router still exists on the network.
Regarding Kmail, there should be nothing showing in the Ethereal capture,
unless you click on "Check mail in" , or have it set up to check at
intervals. I manually check my mail, and would have thought that if you
have it shut down, it would not be possible for it to check at intervals.
You could always run ps auxw from the CLI when Kmail is closed to see
whether it's still showing as an app that is active. Nigel.
Hi
I have managed to track down 2 of the sources of my mysterious network
traffic. One was a cups broadcast to the whole world be the other seems to
be entirely down to kmail.
Ethereal shows two arp packets that presumably come from my router. Maybe
some one could enlighten me - I'm not sure. These are followed with dns
requests for pop addresses at my isp which would be fair enough if kmail
was running but are some what peculiar as it has been shut down. These
packets including the responses from the dns service are followed by 2 more
arp packets.
Is this is a kmail shut down bug or what? It's one I'm not too happy about
so what can be done about it?
