TC sends info on the internet without being asked

From old Airport utilities, I set up the TC's light to blink when data is transmitted from/to it.
With nothing wired-connected to it and wireless off, there is still some traffic issued from this TC.
Access through Bonjour is off and nothing such as DynDNS has been set up.
Any idea what data is sent ? (actually most of the traffic is sent, not received)
Rgds,
Fk

Networks chatter.. that is to ensure they keep themselves alive and up to date. The amount of data going back and forth is usually minor but it is continual.
I would not be over worried unless you are seeing large discrepancy in your ISP downloads from what you know you are using.
If the TC is bridged to the network.. I would not expect outside access.. just local chatter.. if you have it setup as the main router.. you are probably seeing lots of attempts to hack your system. I have studied the output of a professional firewall and I get a hit about every 10sec.. someone asking if I am home.. or any doors are open. Welcome to the internet.. that is what it is like. 
Any idea what data is sent ? (actually most of the traffic is sent, not received)
How do you know the traffic is sent?? The led blinks for Tx or Rx I believe.
If you are worried.. place a managed switch (or old fashioned hub) between your TC and modem.. run wireshark on a computer on a mirror port and examine the traffic.

  • Mail sends email to undisclosed recipients without being asked

    This is highly annoying and I would love for someone to tell me how to fix it.
    Here is the situation:
    I have an iPhone 3GS with all software up to date. I am using the mail program that comes standard from Apple (came with the phone).
    When I go to send or forward an email with an attachment, it sends it to "undisclosed recipients" without stopping to allow me to select who should get the email. My Contacts list does not contain a category for Undisclosed Recipients so I have no idea why my phone does this. It happens when I get to the screen where I can type in an email address or hit the plus icon to bring up my contacts.
    News Flash!! I just solved my own problem. It's a user problem. I will post the solution here just in case there is anyone else out there as uncoordinated as me. When the screen comes up, asking for who to send or forward the email to, I always hit the PLUS icon to bring up the CONTACTS list, but if your finger slips just a bit, it will hit the send button. This will send the email to nobody except yourself, if you have added yourself as an automatic CC.
    For some reason, although the email is only going to me, the iPhone tells me it is going to "undisclosed recipients". This of course scares the heck out of me, when you have just sent confidential info.

    The real reason that it says undisclosed recipient is when you have the switch on for Always Bcc myself in mail settings. Since it is a Bcc instead of just a regular Cc, it is considered undisclosed, because no one else can see who it is.

  • GWIA not sending mail to the internet

    Let me start out saying that i have no experience with Novell products. I am a person starting a local business and in need for a email server. I have chosen GroupWise 8 for many different reasons. I have Windows Server 2003. GroupWise 8 has been deployed successfully. I am able to receive emails from the internet, but not send emails to the internet. I ether get a error 450 or 550 error. Thats all on the GWIA. I have made a route.cfg. I have no idea if I have the correct IP address of the domain I'm trying to send email to(E.G gmail.com) How could I find out the IP Address of a email domain so I could put in the route.cfg file? I tried doing the ping but no luck. I have everything setup correcly on the domain register side. So, could some please describe what those error codes above mean and how this problem could be fix. Any kind of help will be appreciated. Once again, i have not experience with GroupWise or Novell Products. I'm trying to train myself!

    able to resolve the MX records of domains you are trying to send to.
    - If both MX records for your domain point to the same host name, then
    you'd be just as well off with just one entry.
    - If you have a successful DNS resolution, then it is possible that you
    are blocked sending out on the SMTP port. From a command line,
    telnet gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 25
    if you are blocked, you will get a "Connect failed"
    if you are not blocked, you should get either a connection refused, or it
    will report something like
    220 gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com Ready
    if so, type EHLO to get a bit more, then type QUIT to disconnect.
    Let us know what works and we'll take if from there.

    Thanks for that! So I did what you told me with the Commend Prompt, and it came back as "Connect Failed". So I'm guessing that this is a ISP problem now? Am I correct?

  • My iPhone 4S connects to the internet without wifi?

    Trying to share my iPhone's internet connection wit my other apple devices, but I cannot because the personal hotspot option is not there. Does it have anything to with the following: My iPhone, inside or outside the house, connects to he internet without being connected to a wifi network. Is this why? If not, how can I connect my devices?

    Can both MacBook Pros see other Wi-Fis, just not yours? What is the make & model of your wireless router/gateway device? If this device supports Ethernet connections, can both MBPs gain network/Internet access this way?

  • I want to uninstall Acrobat reader. I got support in the community to access my HD and to send to trash the internet plugs in for PDF viewer, but when I try to download a PDF from internet a black screen appears and preview doesn't open

    I want to uninstall Acrobat reader. I got support in the community to access my HD and to send to trash the internet plugs in for PDF viewer, but when I try to download a PDF from internet a black screen appears and preview doesn't open

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • How do you copy and paste a photo from the internet without a mouse?

    Does anyone know how to copy and paste a photo from the internet without a mouse?  I would appreciate a response asap.  Thanks.

    Pointing, clicking, and getting around
    When you move your mouse or finger on a trackpad, you control a pointer (also known as a cursor) that moves across your screen. The pointer allows you to select and interact with the various items on your screen, including selecting files, clicking buttons, dragging sliders, and so on. Sometimes the pointer may look like a hand, a crosshair, an I-beam, or another icon, depending on what you're doing and the application you're using.
    For example, if you're using Safari to view this webpage and move the pointer across it, notice that it turns into an I-beam when you move it over text or a text field. When you see this, you can usually interact with the text or field below it. When you move the pointer over a button or link, the pointer turns into a hand, letting you know that you can click on the item.
    Depending on what you're doing and what application you're using, your pointer (far left) may change appearances
    Clicking your mouse button or trackpad button once allows you to select the item that your pointer is on. In other words, if your pointer is on a file's icon, clicking once will select it. If the pointer is on a button or link, clicking once will activate it. If your pointer is on a text field, clicking once highlights the field and allows you to start typing text in it.
    If you want to open a file, folder, or application, click your mouse button or trackpad twice. This is known as double-clicking. In general, you'll need to double-click items if you want to open them from a Finder window or the desktop. The exception to this is opening stuff from the Dock—just click once on an icon in the Dock to open it.

    How do I import an image directly from the internet without printing and scanning it in first?

    You can also Ctrl click on the image, save the image to your desktop and open it in Photoshop.
    1.
    2.
    3. Open in Photoshop by double-clicking on the saved image on your Desktop or Cmd o in Photoshop.
    I don't see any point to copying and pasting from a browser into a new file in Photoshop.
    If you want to put an image onto an already open image in Photoshop, use the File > Place... command and select your saved image.

  • Why does a standalone program created in Labview 8.5 try connecting to the internet when the program only reads data through the serial port? Firewalls object to progams that contact the internet without permission.

    why does a standalone program created in Labview 8.5 try connecting to the internet when the program only reads data through the serial port? Firewalls object to progams that contact the internet without permission.
    The created program is not performing a command I have written when it tries to connect to the internet, it must be Labview that is doing it. How do I stop this from happening? 
    Any help would be very appreciated.

    It looks that way..
    "When LabVIEW starts it contacts the service
    locator to removes all services for itself. This request is triggering
    the firewall.This is done in case there were services that were not
    unregistered the last time LabVIEW executed- for example from VIs that
    didn't clean up after themselves"
    This is not yet fixed in LV2009.

  • Roles for the user to Edit the Dimension without being an administrator

    Dear Users,
    I have a query based on Planning security.
    I want the user to edit the dimensions and members in planning application. However, the user cannot be administrator.
    I have created a user and assigned the role of "Interactive User" on Planning roles and of "Dimension Editor" on Shared Services access. With this provisioning user the "Administration-->Dimension" is grayed out for the user.
    Please suggest if roles can be assigned to the user in order to Edit the Dimension without being an administrator?
    Regards,
    Praveen.

    I am sure this question gets asked over and over, they need to be an administrator.
    Cheers
