If you "would like".

It can be done by putting this free program on each computer.

Or, to do it centrally (for all computers in one spot) you need a Network Router that can provide this data, or build a Central real Server (like Windows 2012r) and connect all the computers to it. The server software would collect the data for you.

what is a pfSense route???.My router is Huawei HG531.
It is a very customizable/powerful router that you can do all sorts of advanced stuff with. You can purchase one of theirs, or you can build your own out of random computer parts that you might have laying around. Basically it takes the place of your current router to manage your network.

Here's the one I built for my network:

Intel C2930 Quad Core
8GB RAM
128GB SSD
4x Intel Gigabit Ethernet Ports

It probably a x86 version and you need x64 version to run it on the other computer

As an example the program that I linked to above states.

Latest version

5.4 (11 May 2015)
Supported platforms

Windows XP through Windows 8,
Windows Server 2003 through 2012

32-bit and 64-bit
===============

Your Huawei HG531 is a simple entry level DSL Modem/Router combo and can not do any thing on the level that you are asking for.

Giving your level of knowledge, if you want a central monitoring to the Network you should look for IT Pro person that can do it for you.

Your best bet is to install it on a router so it can read all the traffic in the network accurately of each IP address. You also won't have to worry about going to a bunch of PCs or relying on some wonky program to do the monitoring (which probably doesn't work right anyway).

What do you mean no hope?

If you want central control or monitor, you need pFsense or Endian or whatever firewall.

Can't help.

I guess you don't even have rights to install programs on your PC.

It looks like you are not network admin and just trying to limit other users' bandwidth using selfishnet. By the way, the program is 0.1 or 0.2 beta and it's back to 2007, developer already stopped the development 8 years ago, don't expect too much.

NetworkActiv works fine here. ** Well, seems NetworkActiv also missed quite a bit of packets. This program also is old. **

Mr. Leprince.

There is No way to see the Traffic on a simple Workgroup Network like the one that you have from one client computer.

On a Network like yours the only way is to do so is to install monitoring software on each Networked computer.

If you can not install software on all computers, you have to install a Computer/Appliance between the Modem/Router and the Network and then connect all Networked commuter to this device.

The Windows Server and pfsesnse mentioned above are example for such solutions.

------------------------
P.S. To other nice helpers. It take some effort to sense that when an OP seems Not to be from the USA (mastery of the English language) and seems to know Nothig about Networking Not to keep offering solutions employed by Enthusiast Geeks, or and Network IT Pro guys.
