I am looking for a way to monitor my home network. I am the one who pays the money to run and operate the network, but I have become suspicious about what it is being used for at times.

I do not know much about packet sniffing, but I know it is possible using programs like wireshark. However, I am looking for more of a longterm solution. If at all possible I would like something that is free.

Thank You for your help.

Before you can even to begin to look at how it is being used you need to tell us what is being used and how it is configured.

So the Type of Network Workgroup/Domain if all the computers connect through a Central Contact Computer or a device like a Router and so on till it is possible to see what needs monitoring and how to go about monitoring the thing.

OH the OS in use on the different machines would also help a lot as we will need to know what OS the application/s need to be installed on so you get given the right ones for your need.
