What’s happening here?

[COLOR=red]I’ve just set up a wireless connect between this computer and a laptop to share the internet and it seems as if I don’t even have to be using the broadband for it to be downloading e.g. I just tested it by opening a webpage then closing it, after I had closed that page I was still downloading at 4bps? It isn’t much but still if for no reason the usage goes up by 4 bps over a day that starts to sting. I even tried opening and closing a page, then turned the modem off and for over a minute it downloaded at this 4 bps, well that’s what was received on the Local Area Connection Status dialog box and when I turned the modem on again it started it again. But this isn't happening when I don't connect to the Linksys WRT54G e.g. if I disconnect the router from the modem and only use the ADSL2 modem to connect to the net it doesn't happen.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]I have two Local Area Connection icons on the taskbar when this is happening. I’m running Windows XP; I have noticed that it doesn’t always happen. E.g. If I go into show all connections page and I only have the Local Area Connection icon showing, it’s not happening, but if I have the Local Area Connection and a Internet Gateway icon as well it’s doing it.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]If anyone knows what’s going on here and has a solution, it would be greatly appreciated.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=red]Nothing I guess, I seen a general discussion link and hit it by mistake. Probably because I couldn’t find an appropriate link, well you took the time to have a shot? You got a few more second of time to direct me in the right direction?[/COLOR]
