Below is about thirty seconds of data recorded at the RJ45 connector on my Wildblue receiver/modem. The computer I'm using to test with is a new F8 installation [192.168.1.10] and I don't know that it does anything F7 didn't do but I see continuous activity, apparently the result of DNS activity, since it is to the Wildblue DNS server on port 53. Is that normal? 60 bytes doesn't amount to much of a days usage but still it is consuming bw.

It's normal if you have some reason to be looking up names. Try running tcpdump or wireshark so you can see more about the request. It seems odd that you don't see any responses coming back. Does the modem deal with the private address/NAT for you?


I can't make any sense out of Wireshark at all. Data shoots past like a machine gun! And I can't seem to find how to save it to a log?

The Wildblue subscriber device is just a box with some flashing lights and a an ethernet connector. It normally feeds a Netgear wireless router however I have box10 connected to an ethernet hub inserted between the Wildblue device and the router via a cable. So it should be seeing everything passing that point.

My problem is I really don't know how to interpret the data or for that matter what Wildblue is counting as my usage? Usage is what the exercise is really about ... I allowed a limited amount of bandwidth.

"It's normal if you have some reason to be looking up names." Yes, I figured that but the box is otherwise idle except for running iptraf and wireshark, perhaps they are doing DNS lookups?

Presently my signal is blocked with a rain shower, can't send!
