too many active ip connections?

[DarkManX4lf]

I have a buffalo hp-54g router flashed with dd-wrt and when i checke the status page it shows that ih ave 200 active ip connections. It shows this when there is only one computer connected and turned on to the router and i dont have any programs open that are directly accessing the net other than IE and the regular windows services...is this a normal number of active ip connections? at one time i had this computer and an xbox 360 turned on and bittorrent running on the computer and there were 2000 active ip connections, after closing bittorrent and turning off teh 360 the active ip connectins were at 1900...

If you just kill the bt client and Xbox the connections will need to timeout so that's not unexpected, but 200 is about 200 higher than normal if you're not doing anything and you don't expect anything to have an open connection in the background.

yeah, i left my computer on over night with the BT client on and it reached to 2000/2048 ip connections, when i close the bt client it just went down to 1948

i also reset my router to factor defaults in dd-wrt and the ip connections still rise, there are no other devices connected to my router right now

try http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/cports.html on your pc, see if your pc really does have that many connections open. you could try safemode with networking and access the router to see if the # gets to be normal instead of over 1k open. does your wireless have WPA or WEP? or is it open without any key?

you can also use the logging feature under the admin tab. Set it to high, and tell it to log everything. You will see the ports and the IPs of those connections. I had over 400 connections coming from one PC and while it was running no P2P clients. Turns out that the PC was compromised.
