MRTG could, if the WL-600g provided per-host counters. Most likely the WL-600g does not. MRTG does not have any magic way of creating counters for things - it merely graphs whatever counters it is told to read. > I use an offsite web hosting company, where I intend to install MRTG > (as it is on 24/7).

As long as you allow snmp packets, it will work. Putting on my security hat, I don't know that I would want to allow snmp packets from a network I didn't control, but that's your call. SNMP V3 would certainly be a requirement in my environment. > -- Daniel J McDonald, CCIE #2495, CISSP #78281, CNX Austin Energy http://www.austinenergy.com
