Vista - wmpnetwk.net

Hi..im having a serious issue...we have 3 computers hooked up to DSL modem
using Linksys Router RT41-BU...my roomate has installed Vista Beta on his 2
comps I am still running XP Pro, and all sudden the bandwidth has gone crazy
he is sucking it all up and some program which looks like a Window Media
program is sucking up all his RAM and CPU usage by almost 100% the program is
wmpnetwk.net ..cant uninstall it or shut it down...I keep tellin him to just
uninstall Vista cuz this problem didnt start till he installed the OS. and
when I unplug him from the Router everything works just fine and I can play
my online games without lag and surf the net with no troubles..but once we
plug him in my ping goes haywire and slows everything down...HELP!

Im having almost the same problem with a wmpnetwk.exe programe. It uses more
than 60% of my CPU, 3 GHz, and is also taking up large amounts of bandwith
from my network. I have attempted to end the process, but within a short time
the progam begins again. From other sites I have come to the conclusion that
it is a part of Windows Media Player, specificly something called Network
Sharing Service. However I am not running Media Player when this program is
running. Does somebody have a solution or idea?
