ok well im curious as to what eats up my bandiwdth cause i have a 2gb cap...so i go to yahoo start typing away and come up with a solution...snmp. supposedly it will track all the bandwdith my router is using and what ip is and all that good stuff..ok so i go to web-based configuration for my router (network everywhere wireless- nwr04b) i got to advanced, go to forwarding. it has some alrdy presets for me, including snmp...so i set it like this:

preset application---------ext port---------------------protocol tcp---------protocol udp----------int port--------ip---------enable

snmp---------------------------161---------------------------no----------------------yes-------------------161--------192.168.1.2------yes

ok...im guessing i can put the int port as 161? (i tried 162, sdame prob)...i dunnno what int prot does tho, im assuming its the port my comp uses when other ppl's traffic are coming in?

anyways, no=no checkmark, yes=a checkmark. so i set that up..then i go to basic srtup...go back to password, and enable upnp services (did more reearching and thoguht that was the prob)

i d/led a proggie called PRTG - Paessler Router Traffic Grapher. it wants a community string. my router doesnt give me 1...so i do more resarch on yahoo and find it could be public, private, scret, or maybe even no string at all. try those nothing, try a bunch of other possible things, nothing! so im stumped....im gonna try a diff program soon but i doubt its the program...am i doing something wrong? is there another solution?

i wanna figure out the banwdith coming out of my bro's laptop and out of my pc...this seemed like the easiest way to find that + all form the router..with graphs and stuff.

any1 know what im doing wrong?

thanks.

It is possible that your router doens't really support SNMP - It might just have support for some kind of pass-through to another machine, which won't help you much. What kind of router is it?

Yup, 100% on the $$ Garion would be my guess. Since the user isn;t really sure what SNMP is, I doubt he has an enterprise class router/friewall (bet it is just a NAT/basic SPI box) that really supports SNMP.

public is generally the default but do check to see if it supports SNMP.

But to my knowledge SNMP doesn't log IP address of traffic - that would be RMON.
