Monitoring internet abuse with an OS X Server

Asked by andr01d_za in OS-X Server, Network Auditing Software, Network Analysis Software

As of late we've been having a lot of trouble with people abusing our internet connection, we're currently being charged about $15 per gig, and we'd really like to get to the bottom of it.

I've set up my G5 running 10.5 Sever with NAT and its configured to act as a gateway to our ADSL router. So all internet traffic is currently running through my server, I now need some way to monitor which clients on my network are abusers, and what it is that they're downloading.

I've tried playing with a range of tools but they're all way above my head, I've even enabled SNMP on the server, but the only tools I've found tell me nothing more than the total bandwidth being consumed.

Is there a simple GUI based program out there for mac which will help me get to the bottom of this problem?Start Free Trial
