I wish to monitor our DSL Broadband internet access. Are there any freeware tools that I could use to monitor both the constant upload and download usage and the sites being accessed.

some DSL routers with the built in firewall have log reporting. The Linksys routers have their own log files you access from their web interface. Sample of such log files are: system, firewall, vpn access and the logging is down by computer ip address. Not sure if other brand name routers. A DSL/Cable router is a good investment in security.

If you have a firewall software program, you might check their logging/reporting features. One free one that is consistently voted excellent by PC World Mag is ZoneAlarm which has reporting/logging features.
