Question Bandwidth Monitoring Software?

Hi,

Someone in our office are misusing our office bandwidth for their personal use. Watching Youtube/downloading personal stuffs etc.

We cannot manually keep a track of who is doing what. Is there any program that would show us which terminal is using how much bandwidth?

We are on a D-link wi-fi router.

Please help


Thanx

..... or use a suitable proxy to block sites you don't want to give access to (candidates in my mind are video sites, chat forums, email (Hotmail, GMail etc)

not to sure whats available in the windows world, but IIRC a *NIX box used to have something called squid

Did it not occur to any of you that all you need to do is ANNOUNCE that internet traffic is being monitored?
Much cheaper and easier to administer. Every few months start a surreptitious rumor that somebody was caught visiting a gambling or porn site.
