I need to monitor the bandwidth use on my network (and, if possible, each user, as well) from my PC to see where the problems are.
My network is largely DHCP (so I can’t track individuals by their IP since it changes frequently). With the exception of one largely unused Vista computer, everyone is XP Pro.
The router is a Linksys RV016 and connects to 2 unmanaged D-Link 24 ports (DGN series).
My chief concerns are the in/out daily/weekly/etc.. for eveyone and for the system and that I can hopefully push that data into some usable form to give to those above me (maybe an excel sheet or something). Seeing what actual sites people are visiting is secondary.
I’ve tried quite a few sharewares but they haven’t been able to do it. I like open source software but I haven’t found one that does what I need yet.
Many thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.
