[plug] Network Analysing

[Daniel Pearson]

Leon,
I'm interested in traffic going around the whole network, between each
machine as well - not just the gateway. Sometimes, there are bottlenecks on
the network, for unexplained reasons. So i'm hoping that by seeing what is
going where, this can be solved.

Regards,
Daniel
