Home network monitoring?

[Scothew]

Its been totally fine up until recently. And I thought about the wii aspect, but its been hooked up over a year with no issues.

Yeah sadly hughes is my only option as bellsouth wont finish teh fiber to the area.

Thanks guys for the input. I downloaded wireshark so gonna play with it. Complex doesnt scare me thankfully. I put it on my win2k3 box already, now i just gota figure out how to make it capture the rest of hte network or will i have to put it on all of the other machines in the house?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wireshark is only going to give you a snap shot from your NIC card, not the entire network. So to answer your question, it will need to be installed on all machines.
