Umm, I don't necessarily, but at the moment, I don't have any tools to monitor this stuff on the network side, which is why I asked the question. It's not directed towards a specific problem this time :-)

I'm thinking of bandwidth usage first off, which I'm thinking PRTG to monitor that. I guess I could run a Wireshark capture, to see if there's a massive spike in weird packets. Anything else that you guys could suggest? I know someone had mentioned they use Nagios, but that would require me to setup a Linux box first, which isn't that big a deal, other than piecing a box together... Any other ideas? I'd like to do this without a lot of cost if possible, just because I hate spending money... -- Boaz. ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
