Network Monitor...

Hey guyz,

It was nice to see this forum after a long christmas break :) ...but let me come to the point quickly.

I am using Win 2000 Pro and I just got a CABLE internet connection and I want to monitor Internet usage. I mean UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD totals after each day.

If the software could also log the details then its really cool. I would also like to see if the software can monitor the usage on each of the network adapter installed in my PC.

The ultimate thing I am looking for is a freeware.

Cheers...

no one...???

* bump *

Just double click on the network connection and you should get sent&received stats.

ok being more specific I need something more sophisticated...which can log the usage atleast day by day...

You could use the GetTcpStatistics() API.
There's a sample of it on www.mvps.org/vbnet

Here try these :

http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/index.html...statistics.htm
http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/index.html...rfacetable.htm

The second link looks the more promising.

I mean just the upload and downloaded data...possible log of it...

Just don't get me wrong that I am looking for a shortcut...

Well just slap the code on the page into a form, and modify it to only pull the bits you want ?

Couldn't make it working by some reasons.

Can someone gives me another way rather than program it myself...???

Did you try Norton Internet Security 2003 , It seems your lost !

I'm using Network Cable e Adsl Speed . It speeds up Modem , DSL , ISDN as well as logging TCP , IP , UDP , ICMP etc . It's worth a try !

here is the link , scroll down the page

takes too much space and too cluttered...I need a very tiny app...sorry to be so picky...

I would suggest to have Norton Internet Security 2003 . It functions as firewall to keep hackers away from your system since your PC will be online 24 hours and calculates out goings , in coming packets , IPs , and other stuff . It's worth a try !

I do have Norton Internet Security 2002 installed...will it do the same as 2003 or I should upgrade...

Cheers...

I believe it's upgradable to 2003 ! Try to look for last and complete release off the net . I mean PIRATED COPY;) . Let me see if I can provide you with a link !

don't worry I have so many links to do so...I will do it...Thanks for suggestion...

Cheers...:)

Norton Internet Security 2003 doesn't really helps me on this issue...Instead it created problem with Norton Antivirus regarding MSN Messanger 5.0 issue...

Cheers...

Well , you can monitor internet usage through Event Viewer . It's logging any problems , info , warnings in there . Hope this helps a bit !

hmm nice idea but its not that convenient as a small app running in the background and with one click of mouse I get everything I need...

Cheers...
