Network traffic monitor


[link to this post]
 
Hi All,
I am looking for a network traffic monitor that will tell me which programs on my computer is accessing the internet.

Any suggestions?

Ps, I am running Windows 7.


Cheers

Can't check in WIndows 7 atm - but in Vista - if you start Task Manager (Right mouse click on Taskbar or ctrl+alt+del ) on the performance tab there is a "Resource Monitor" button - that shows list of applications access network

CurrPorts

TCPView

CurrPorts may be best for what you need as it creates a log file.

Try this programme "intrusion detection system SAX2"
http://www.ids-sax2.com/

You can filter by application, osi layer, port, network interface and protocol as well as items accessing the lan, wan or both. You can have lots of graphs, save logs and export to excel plus you can view the the contents of individual tcp and udp packets and datagrams.

OR .......

open up a command prompt with admin rights (right click - run as administrator) and type the following


netstat -a -b

then press enter and wait a moment or two for the list to appear. you will be able to see which application has net access, it's current status, any protocols, ip addresses, port numbers etc.
