There is a Network Monitor utility provided on Windows 2000 Server. You can install via
ADd/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows components, Management and Monitoring Tools, Network Monitor Tools.

Network monitor that comes with Windows 2000 server can only monitor traffic from the server. You would need the NetMon that comes with SMS for a full fledged sniffer. You are better off using a sniffer like Ethereal www.ethereal.com for what you are trying to do.

Hi

If your ISP can tell you about the data being sent they can also tell you which port is being used to send the data. You should be able to configure your router to close the port.

Good luck
