for over 2 years it use to blink randomly and only stay a solid color when i played a game or was downloading something

now as soon as i get to my winxp screen the activity light stays on until i turn my comp on.....

what about my modem?

On most modems, constant green means good. If you are not having any problems, dont worry about it.

Just start a packet capture program and see what is on the wire. Can't be any more simpler.

Please provide details on whether or not you have antivirus software with updated pattern files, and the same for spyware cleaners such as spybot/adaware, or whatever you choose to use.
