Process Monitor only shows the top process id which is svchost. I guess
Svchost represents any number of services, any of which can be generating ip
traffic.
The question is how does one zero in on the culprit service? |

I start with Process Explorer from Microsoft (SysInternals).

There, you find the Svchost instance in question, look under Services, and find
a list of what services are involved. And under TCP/IP, make a note of the
connections and their details. Pass the details here.

Of course the tcp values are constantly changing as the port number
increases, usually by one. Port 1457 below is chosen at random. The port
numbers seem to cycle between 1000 and 4000 apprx. Thanks for looking at it.

What about the Svchost instance? What services are listed?
Here's RRAC - Port 5678:

What is "192.168.0.1" - a router, or a computer running ICS?
