how can you stop a connection to the web. i am using xpsp1. when i connect to isp and have no web pages showing i see a connection and lots of data flowing between my pc and 63.236.111.222. how can i find out what is connecting to my pc and stop it besides disconnecting to the web

thanksPlease help clarify things... Your question is how to cut-off your connection? I'm not understanding quite what you want...

[glb]Flame[/glb]yes when i log onto to my isp i normally get no web activity until igo to a web page. but as i just now got online my pc is SENDING and receiving data all the time. the ip i showed is where my pc is connecting. this is not my isp either. i USE netstat to see this address and am trying to break the connection without having to diconnect from web. this isn't a web page i am going to. it just happens when i get online.Online Virus SCAN and Spyware Scans
