You need to find the name of the performance counter on your Windows server. I'm pretty sure there isn't one called "\Local Area Connection\%". On your Windows system go in to Administrative Tools / Performance and add the counter you want to look at. Once you can see it in the performance tool, right-click on it and click "Properties" to see the full name of the counter which you want to monitor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
