depends on exactly what you want to monitor....but I prefer lower layer stuff like snort http://www.snort.org and tcpdump. With either of those, you can watch the actual raw packets and learn more about networking than most people care to know about....such as reading your email messages as they pass from your computer to the server, icq messages, and anything else sent in plain text. An advantage to snort is that you get to see cracking/portscanning/worms trying to invade your network in real time.....plus it alerts you to problem traffic.
