660892 2008-04-25 00:18:00 TrafficStatistic looks good, might give it a whirl tonight :D thanks! Chilling_Silence (9)
660893 2008-04-25 00:51:00 IPCOP from www.ipcop.org will do what you wont if you are happy to have one PC as a gateway. ughnz (8297)
660894 2008-06-09 11:39:00 Cant have a dedicated PC gateway, have enough fluff on my network already... ;)

But yeah, TrafficStatistic doesnt seem to wanna work with Vista.

We're at 19GB and only 20 days into our "month", so Im screwed this time around.. I swear its the YouTube & online gaming my younger sibblings doing now he has his own laptop, downloading all those silly little free MMORPG's and whatnot :( :( :(

660895 2008-06-09 12:07:00 How about PRTG Traffic Grapher (www.paessler.com)....I'm going to give it a try, just turn on SNMP on the router SolMiester (139)
660896 2008-06-09 14:01:00 Unfortunately neither my Dynalink RTA1320 nor my Asus WL-520GC running DD-WRT Micro supports SNMP :(

Any other suggestions?

Im tempted to go buy the Asus WL-520GU which would support the mini DD-WRT as opposed to the micro edition, apparently that has SNMP?

All the clients I really wanna monitor connect wirelessly anyways...

660897 2008-06-09 20:49:00 Not sure if it's useful in your situation but check out Bandwidth Controller (bandwidthcontroller.com). sal (67)
660898 2008-06-09 21:06:00 Not sure if it'll be able to distinguish between Internet traffic and LAN traffic, but I'l give it a whirl :)

thanks

Anybody else have any suggestions?

I like how TrafficStatistic did it, adding an "exceptions" list to the monitored traffic so anything from XYZ didnt count towards traffic usage :)

Bad luck regards the router....My linksys works well with the SNMP sensing...

It had about 5 sensors, however I didnt see where to view traffic info, only had an overall quantity, but I didnt spend too much time with it. I got the feeling though that you can set up snmp on all the other pc's, then the program captures their usage. Trouble is the free version only comes with 3 free sensors, looks like you need around a dozen+
