![]() I would recommend bandwidthD myself as long as you can get a NIC on the monitoring computer connected between your Router and LAN, bandwidthD will create graphs and table data for you, it will use reverse DNS to try to resolve names and will break down the type of traffic to a certain extent, and it will generate html pages for you to view all this in your web browser, I run it on linux, but bandwidthD does have a windows version and it is free. However, if you use a hardware router to route your traffic from WAN to LAN you will need to connect a NIC between the LAN port on the router and wherever it actually plugs into your network (a switch likely) this can be accomplished by using port mirroring, a hub, or a tap. If for instance you use your 2003 Server as a router and your WAN and LAN are connected through it then you could monitor from that using something like Network Probe, or BandwidthD. ![]() In both cases you need to place the monitoring at a point that all traffic will flow through. ![]() Unfortunately the only really god way to accomplish what you want is with a proxy server or network monitoring applications.
