Off the top of my head port 22 is an FTP port or secure FTP. 

Are you using enterprise Network equipment (routers and swiches?) or consumer grade (Linksys, D-link etc.) either way your router should show some info on what is going down...check the logs.

You could block traffic on that port and see what stops working...LOL (maybe nothing.)

My gut says it's one of only a few things.  P2P like mentioned above, the VPN, or some malware.

Depending on who your ISP is you could try calling their support.  This is hit-or-miss as the tech might know less than you.  Some ISP's in my area are good like that with the support and have good techs others are well...not so good.

LOL that sounds like the approach our telecom group would take.    :hissy:

Port 22, if not redefined, is SSH - secure logins like SFTP, SCP, VPN, etc.

I've seen people tunnel through 22 to circumvent a web proxy or encrypt their traffic so their employer can't tell what they are browsing.  That's a possibility if you have a monitor proxy or are using something like Websense to filter content.

Get a router with a firmware that supports SSH tunneling... tunnel out through 22 to your own router... forward that on your router to something like RDC on your XP box at home... boom, browsing on your home PC and sitting in your office.
