The NIC task tray icon shows consistant sending. I took a trace of it and
found a multicast from the server at port 1103 .destination port 36546.
I used fport to trace it to an executable in the windows media services
directory - I think the name was nscm.exe or the like. Anyway, I
uninstalled the windows media services component to get the server to stop
sending the multicast. My question is was that normal operation?

I have NO clue. I reply only to mention that I recently changed the name
of my Win2003 Server from SERVER2003-1 to just SERVER2003. I also went in
to the registry and changed every occurance there, as well.

And yet, there is constant outbound packets. According to the Network
Monitoring tool, I see something is sending broadcast packets to the
server's old name. So, something has a setting not found in the registry.

I need to find and learn how to use the fport tool. What else does it do,
is it a component of a larger toolset?

Thanks.
 
I suspected it was Arcserve Backup as that was the only thing left that
operated as a client/server paradyme. Got that fixed and all is well now.
