I have a very strange problem with my laptop. I have an IBM Thinkpad T30
running XP Professional. Whenever I am connected to my wireless router at
home (Linksys), every so often explorer.exe starts taking about 50% CPU and
the computer gets real sluggish. I do not have this same problem when I am
connected to the wireless network and work or when I am hard wired into my
router at home. I have WEP enabled on my home router and I filter on MAC
addresses so I don't believe that anyone external is connected to my
network. I have also scanned my home computers for viruses and they came up
clean. Is there any way at all to debug explorer.exe to see what exactly is
is trying to do? I have looked at Perfmon logs of %CPU for all processes
and there doesn't seem to be any other process that goes crazy right before
or during the time that explorer.exe does. If any one has any ideas, I'd
love to hear them.
