no problem. 1. you only need to run indexmaker once 2. use "--columns=1" to stack your graphs vertically 3. 1250000 is in Bytes 4. the graphs should scale to your internet usage, which as you say won't exceed 3 Mbps 5. the traffic analysis line in indexmaker is the same as the Target: line in your cfg file. you can edit the HTML to say anything you want 6. it shouldn't break since by default MRTG uses ifIndex--not IP Address--to collect data. but using ifIndex makes the indexmaker pages say "traffic analysis for 1" (see #5)

My first area of confusion is in use of the indexmaker tool, I ran it and it made a index page, is this something I only need to do once, it does seem this page is updated every 5 minutes when I tell cron to update the /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg /Library/WebServer/mrtg/cfg/192.168.1.1.cfg The part that is confusing to me is that this page is in fact updated with new data to it, yes I never ever run indexmaker ever again. I have 2 images on the main page I load, they are sitting horizontally, seeing as how I will never add any more reports to this page, can I get them to be stacked vertically? Somehow, MRTG seems to have polled my router and set the Max Speed to 10.0 Mbits/s. First, how did it do this? Second, why in the cfg file is MaxBytes[192.168.1.1_1]: 1250000 set to that value, how does this translate to 10.0 Mbit/s? Third, is that even accurate, this is a 10/100 switch? Finally, I have a comcast internet connection, so I think it would be better suited to set the outside connection to 3.0Mbits/s since that is the lines max capacity, the inside connection should be set to 100Mbits/s ? My reports say Traffic Analysis for 1 -- none Traffic Analysis for 2 -- none What do other reports generally say in this line and how can I get mine to be filled in with something nicer to read? I also have System: none in - as well, and wonder what that should be set to. What will I need to do if Comcast renews my DHCP IP, will this break? thanks -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Haneda Tel: 415.898.2602 http://www.newgeo.com Fax: 313.557.5052 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Novato, CA U.S.A. -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A.G.
