Hello All

Is there a software app i could d/l to see what is sucking the cap on a three users DSL 512k network

Id like to see what it is being used on

Thanks
 
Well if the ADSL router is handling the connection then the only way to get that info is to do one of the following :

1. Install a bandwidth analyzer on each users PC such as Netlimiter. It's intrusive and messy since it requires you to mess with people's PCs.

2. Install a firewall that will handle the PPPoE connection and the run traffic analyzer app on it. Examples : IPCop, Smoothwall or a Linux distro with ntop.
 
Yea use Netlimiter. It's Avast! btw... Stupid virus definitions being updated constantly... And I think I've still got a virus/trojan. It tells me 1.Reg contains A trojan each time I bootup, but when I try to delete it, it says it cant find it. Sneaky virus...
 
uh avast is brilliant stuff m8...

i would:

-run spybot s&d
-run avast full bootup scan (after installing)
-use netlimiter/du meter/du super controler
 
I agree Avast is really good software,
What you should look at tho is if you have a trojan, then you most likely have a few trojans and not just one. The fun thing about them is that they are transmitting information, its easier to see on a dial-up how this actually affects your line - sent bytes are usually more than received. On a DSL connection you wont notice the difference but the bandwidth will still be going.

Either that or someone is downloading teh_pr0n!

It's just me on the PC...
Avast find's the Trojan whenever I boot up. But whenever I say, delete the bastard, it cant find it.. It is really weird. I tried a bootup scan, but it didn't find it. I am so confused.

The problem is, it's a registry file. So i dunno how to kill it, it has probably already been placed in the reg.
 
Might be in one of those folders with $Uninstall or some such
 
I installed a spyware killer. It also goes through the registry. And I think it got it. Crisis averted. Calm down guys... I'm ok now. Phew.
