Define "monitor"... Do you mean general throughput or packet sniffing? To/from your computer or on your entire LAN? Yes, to/from on the entire LAN... Ok. As Clark indicated, there is a segmenting problem. Unless you're using 10 Mb hubs, each client (computer, printer, etc - thing plugged into the network) on the LAN sees only the ethernet traffic specifically addressed to it (ethernet is pretty smart that way!). This is because the switches do intelligent routing, at the physical ethernet link level. Wi-fi is a bit different as there are no switches involved - but an interface can only "sniff" packets in a single channel. If your network has a "choke point", you could perhaps monitor traffic there. eg: At the router that connects to your ISP. But still, because of any ethernet switches you have, that will only let you see the traffic to/from your ISP. Traffic sent directly between clients won't be seen as it never goes thru the router. What is the purpose of all this? Exactly what do you want to accomplish? - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Probably not. If the LAN is via a switch (which includes the one built into routers) then you can only see traffic to your machine and broadcast traffic. Regular traffic (the packets requesting a web page and the response back from the server for example) go only between the router and the machine making the request. Older 10BaseT-only wiring tended to use hubs which sent all packets out to all ports. With a hub it was possible to monitor all the traffic. There are some tools to monitor wireless traffic but I'm not familiar with those. Higher end switches allow you to do some monitoring but that's not available in typical SOHO equipment.
