Can Anyone recommend a good network/router monitoring programme?

Basically what I want to is see what computers are logged on to my wireless network and what their bandwidth usage is. The router is a linksys wrt54g.

Thanks

Jim

    Active Ports rocks!

    It's FREE.

    "Active Ports - easy to use tool for Windows NT/2000/XP that enables you to monitor all open TCP/IP and UDP ports on the local computer. Active Ports maps ports to the owning application so you can watch which process has opened which port. It also displays a local and remote IP address for each connection and allows you to terminate the owning process. Active Ports can help you to detect trojans and other malicious programs."

    I use it at my office to monitor both internal and external connections to our servers. Handy little prog.

    Note that monitoring your router is best done thorugh the router's own log features. Programs like Active Ports can only monitor traffic on the computer, and if traffic gets blocked at your firewall, of course, the computer cannot monitor it, because it never sees it.
