Looking for a good monitering network program.

[LightingBird]

Looking for a piece of software that I can use on my home/home business network to watch certain things. What I am trying to do is monitor the amount of data downloaded from computers hooked up to my wireless network. The item being downloaded if possible and/or the total amount of bandwith they are pulling. Basically trying to spot network hogs. I currently use a linkskys router. Model number WRTP54G. Anyone know of any program that is good for these types of things?

Price is no object.

Now can I use that on my router?

There are huge amounts of network monitoring packages, but like everything, you should be looking at paying money for a good package. Theres always SATAN, GFI Languard, (superb) DUDE (which is freeware), LanSpy,

A good source is www.snapfiles.com , look in the freeware section under network monitoring

Those are not exactly what he's looking for.

I think he wants an SNMP based monitoring thing, such as solarwinds. This is something thats great and easy to use
