HI all,

1. why does svchost need to be online? It is always asking for permission to
get online?

2. Why does it always have a differnt ip addy?

Which svchost.exe? Try using netstat in a cmd window

netstat -abov >netstat.txt
and
notepad netstast.txt


Find the PID which is identified as svchost.exe and then
use tasklist.

tasklist /svc /fi "PID eq ___"

(fill in the blanks with the PID that the netstat finds)


My guess is that it will be wuauserv (Automatic Updates.)
