What router is it?

I swear mine never used to do it, but I just looked and all the ports are blinking... Laughing

And only one PC of the 4 LAN ports is actually on... POS Belkin...

i looked at the log for the router and it didnt show nething recently but it showed something about 2 weeks ago so i have to look into that .... i turned the Broadcast SSID off so i should be fine for the most part right?? or is there something else i need to do to disable the wireless??

This is a wireless router? Oh, OK... I was talking wired, but it should be the same thing... If the WAN light is blinking, that would be for traffic from your broadband connection... and it probably just indicates a connection is present.

I got a decent wireless setup article coming up tomorrow night... Grin

I don't think I'd be too worried about it Fox... it's a pretty normal kid of thing.

Wan blink is a a sign of activity, depending on the Mfg'er either off or on repersents actual transaction in progress.
with a cable modem it well blink continously, some DSL connections only blink in response to your requests.
more important is the individual port lights on wired or the Wlan on a Wlan.
