| Usage monitoring software for home network? I have 3 - 4 computers on my LAN. If I'd like to keep track of my usage, do I have to install monitoring software on all machines and add up the totals by checking on each? Or is there something that can keep a running tally of total usage in and out of my house?
Thanks - Mark | |

| Re: Usage monitoring software for home network? No I mean is there a way for me to tally all of the internet usage, the WAN, from several computers in one program on one machine. Or should I look to install separate monitoring programs on each of the computers in my household? I'm not talking about LAN file transfers and stuff. | |

| Re: Usage monitoring software for home network? 500 MHz with two $10 network cards inserted -- that's more than enough.
There are plenty of free Linux solutions to make it work, including some that are essentially hard-diskless (they boot and run from CD and a floppy). Windows XP comes with Internet Connection Sharing.
Someone will hopefully reply with their favorite choices.
