hi,
you can install network analyser software ( protocol analyser ) in any windows based machines and analyse network
traffic . free analysers are available in internet for download.

Hi

You can configure ip accounting on your routers

This will tell you packets to and from addresses

on cisco routers enter the following on your sub interface

en
passwd < password>
conf t
int <#> < select interface >
ip accounting

To switch off

no ip accounting

Hope this helps

Steve

Ryan,

from the system side you could use glance to watch each process at the file level IO. network products are going to tell you which IP is doing how much, but not what the application is doing. Meaning that if a user is connected to your system they could be doing various things that the network software is not going to know anything about.
