Hey guys,

Sometimes it seems like my bandwidth is bogging down, usually with speed tests I will see around 6k down and the equivalent of 50-60kB/s upload.

I am on a home network and I wanted to know if there was a way I could check to see where the bandwidth is being used and how much to track down the problem? Is there a way to do this without seeing if anyone is downloading something? Usually thats not the case, it seems as though it could be perhaps that something is downloading in the background almost but even that I doubt.

So any way to do this?

Task manager has a good graph. If you wish you can manage with performance monitor. Included in xp already. Start,run, perfmon.

I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.

Thanks

I was looking more towards something that measures total bandwidth used. Say I have 6000 kB down to use, is there a way going into my router or whatever it may be to see something like:

computer at ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is using 1000kB down or something similar to this.

I know double clicking your network connection shows packets in and out but I cant translate those into my purposes.
