Local Area Connection Status windows showing ridiculous number of Sent Packets

Hi,

I found something weird on my Windows XP machine. When I
double click on my LAN adapter to see the packets send and
received by my computer the number I get for sent packets
is ridiculously high (example: 219,633,267,288). The
number of received packets is usually 3 or 4 digits. And
this is happening after I just restart my machine and just
a few minutes have pass.

Any ideas?

Best Regards

This is likely just a bug in the network card driver. See if the
manufacturer has a newer driver.

Hello,

I think your experiencing the opposite to my own problem.

I believe that you connection status is being displayed
in bytes rather than packets. I'm curently trying to
track down info on how to change this part of the
display, because mine is displayed in packets and I
prefer bytes.

If you hear anything, please feel free to pass it on to
me, and I will do the same for you.

Cheers

Glenn

Thanks, your suggestion was correct. I went to windows
update and a new driver was available and it fix the
problem.
