Network monitor
Hi
We have a small home network based on Windows XP Pro (SP2) computers. One acts as a server and the other 5 connect to it. The server has an ADSL connection and using ICF (Internet Connection Sharing) the other 5 computers get their internet connection from it. Is there a software package available that can be installed on the server to monitor how much internet bandwidth each of the 5 computers is using? It would also be nice if it could report which web site each of the 5 computers visited and if it could control how much bandwidth each computer can get, or to block internet access to any of the 5 computers.
Thanks

srikrischnak, to my knowledge, SNMP doesn't report on sites visited, have the ability to control bandwidth allocation, or the ability to break bandwidth utilization down by device.
That CCProxy seems interesting. However, SETP, you'd have to have your Proxy Server on all the time, and the Internet flow going THROUGH the proxy server.
