I recently received an email from my internet provider showing illegal movie downloads through my modem. I have a wireless router hooked up (with password security) for my roommates to use and would like to monitor their internet activities to know who is downloading these movies.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a cable modem with a wireless router attached.There are 2 laptops that connect to the internet via the router. I've never been able to get the hard wired desktop to connect to the internet via the router, so, when the desktop is used, the router is disconnected from the modem and the desktop is connected.I do not have free access to the modem, router or desktop devices, but I do have free access to the 2 laptops.I would like to be able to install on one of the laptops, something that would keep track of the internet connectivity.
I know that even when the router is disconnected from the modem, it is still sending it's wireless signal (most likely) but it's not connected to the internet anymore.So, I would like to be able to know the date and time the router looses internet connectivity and the date and time it gets the connectivity back every time this happens.I would love to be able to monitor the activity that takes place on the internet during that time frame, but know it's not possible when all I have access to is a wirelessly connected laptop that would lose the internet connectivity. So, it would be good just to be able to know when the router is disconnected and how long it is disconnected.
I just got optical fiber installed in my place which gives me great download speeds. Now my ISP has a monthly download limit of 120GB, after that I gotta pay overages.Now my setup is like this: Fiber modem (1 port) -> Linksys E3000 router (4 ports + wifi).All my gear is hooked up to the Linksys router (xbox, ps3, media center, office pc & 2 laptops).I would like to keep track of the total "internet" bandwidth use of all devices, but exclude the normal network traffic, as that of course I don't pay for.Is there something that I can install on the Linksys router that can keep track of that kinda of information? router (4 ports + wifi).

And then the one that was asking said, he knew he was lying. He can detect and monitor that person's IP address to know enough if the other person is downloading or not.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a Linksys model WRT54GS2 with 4 ports, with Ethernet cables connected to ports 1 and 2. I have a laptop connected by wireless connection, with only an Xbox connected using Port 1 and occasionally port 2. Just recently, port 1 shows no activity. When connected to Xbox it doesn't display a check mark showing connection but does with port 2. I've connected it to port 3 and 4, which shows a check mark but won't connect to Xbox live. It's like port 2 only works, what I can do to "fix" ports 1, 3, and 4?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently switched from a DSL ISP (Earthlink, Zyxel modem configured as a bridge, pppoE connect) to a cable ISP (Comcast, Arris cable modem, dhcp connect). Basically PC --> DIR615-->Cable modem-->Internets. With the old DSL the Internet activity LED (green, looks triangular) on the DIR615 blinked only when internet activity occurred. With the new Comcast connection it blinks non-stop about 5 times a second! Even if the PC is turned off it blinks. It stops blinking if I disconnect the ethernet cable between router and modem. The connection itself is fine, but if the DIR615 is doing something it should not be doing it might slow the connection down a bit, (or burn something out prematurely?)FYI, the Arris cable modem does not seem to be a router. It takes a cable connection from outside and provides a single ethernet cable and 2 (voice) telephone cables to the house.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI was examining my router's logs the other day and I noticed a recurring entry stating that my PC's IP address was sending packets to the IP 172.16.30.115 on port 80, and that the router was dropping them.Except for the fact that my home LAN uses the 192.168.1.0/24 network EXCLUSIVELY. That is all it has ever used since this router was set up, and the only other networks we have EVER used are 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24. So why, I wondered, is my PC repeatedly sending (presumably) HTTP traffic to a private IP that is not and never has been on my network?I wasn't worried about what these connections might be doing, since I figured they couldn't do anything, but I was kind of concerned about what was generating this traffic in the first place. So I downloaded Wireshark and ran a capture for 30 minutes. Upon completion, I filtered results to show only packets that contained the IP 172.16.30.115, as either the source or destination IP.Based on the router logs, I expected to see three packets with my PC's source IP address and a random source port sent to 172.16.30.115, port 80 every 10 minutes.And I did see that. These are TCP packets, and they appear to be completely empty. The only thing I noticed about them is that the SYN flag is set. I don't know what the significance of that is, if any, but that's what I noticed.
What I DIDN'T expect to see were the packets that had a source IP of 172.16.30.115. These packets (also TCP) had the ACK and RST flags set, and they contained the text "Go away, we're not home." So not only are there packets being sent to an IP that cannot possibly exist within my network, but there are also packets coming FROM the impossible IP telling me to go away.All of that is scary enough on its own. But then I hopped on Google and did a search for the phrase "go away, we're not home," and almost every result was related to the decline of the Storm worm. After reading about Storm, I was more confused, not less. In its heyday, Storm used UDP traffic to communicate between peers, and my mystery traffic was TCP. Storm usually did not use well-known port numbers, such as 80, which I read was part of what made it so resilient. Not to mention that the most recent posts I could find regarding the Storm worm were dated 2010 and were about the possibility of a second Storm, and I didn't get this PC until May 2011. Plus, even if we ignore all of this and operate under the assumption that I have the Storm worm on my PC, that still doesn't explain the fact that the traffic from my computer is heading to a private IP that is NOT, I repeat, NOT being used on my network, my router says it's dropping this traffic, but my PC is still somehow receiving a response from an IP address that 1) isn't on the network and 2) can't be having any packets forwarded to it, since the router says it's dropping the traffic.So, operating under the worst-case scenario assumption, I used two different virus scanners (not simultaneously, of course) to do the deepest scans they are capable of doing. They both turned up completely clean. In fact, I've had AVG Free installed on my computer since I got it, and even if you look at my virus history you only see a few tracking cookies, a corrupted EXE from the Skype setup folder, and a Trojan dropper that I never even ran because I thought the file properties seemed fishy so I scanned it and promptly deleted it. So I now have to go back to operating under the assumption that I do NOT have the Storm worm, and I am back to the drawing board.
In each case, the routers have functioned flawlessly for a period of 2 to 8 months, then suddenly begin to require daily to hourly reboots to keep the speed up, and often times fail to respond to any web activity whatsoever. Ping tests are intermittent, sometimes failing but other times succeeding while web sites remain unresponsiveFor three years I lived with two or more room mates at a time, each of us with our own computer (or 2) and all doing a lot of peer to peer downloading. I realize a router can overheat during heavy use like this, so buying new routers so regularly has seemed vaguely understandable. However it doesn't seem like that is the case in my most recent failure.I've lived alone for the past 3 months, and have owned the Belkin Play Max N600 HD since. I have NOT been P2P downloading or putting a heavy load on my router in any way (or so it seems). Yet as of about two weeks ago, it has suffered a major slowdown just like all of its predecessors. Yet my 30 mbps internet connection roars to life the moment I plug the modem directly into a computer.
My desktop remains on 24/7 but like I said before, I do not do constantdownloading/uploading. Both wired and wireless connections are effected equally, and I have always kept all my routers WPA encrypted.When websites become unresponsive on my Belkin today, it is usually after everything has been sitting idle for some time (overnight, or all day while I am at work). Speaking of work, today is a perfect exampleI remoted into my home desktop and was able to interact just fine, yet when I would launch a browser and try to load any website at all, I get absolutely nothing. I had to transfer a text document through DropBox (which also still worked) because I couldn't get Google Docs (or gmail) to load on the remote computer
My previous setup was a ProSafe GS108 switch, 10/100 Dlink router/switch used only as a switch, and a DI-655 router/switch. With this setup, activity when I wasn't using any of my computers was zero. There would be no blinking activity lights.
I dumped the ProSafe and 10/100 switch, and use the DI-655 only for my internet uplink and wireless, and now have everything else plugged into a Cisco GS200 switch. There is activity now every two seconds. I presume this prevents the Green energy saving features from kicking in as the ports are in use.
What's the difference that's leading to all this activity that presumably wasn't there before?
This morning I lost wifi connectivity. I reset the router and powered off and on the modem along with the router but to no avail.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn the company I work for, employees' internet traffic is monitored, and if you download too much, you get a warning, and later there might be more serious consequences. But they don't tell how many kilobytes are too much, and they also don't tell, how much of your "kilobyte budget" you have spent already. So I want to be able to monitor my own internet activity. However, all the programs I found so far watch the whole traffic going through the network card, which, beside the internet usage, includes LAN and mail server communication, which don't count. So, I'm looking for a free portable program that can monitor specifically my browser's internet usage, i.e. the number of kilobytes sent and received by the browser application. It is imperative that the program should be portable, or at least installable without administrator privileges, because I don't have that.
View 2 Replies View RelatedISP has recently announced that they are going to start charging $1 for every GB that their customers go over their monthly limit. i have a 100GB/mo package and i figure that's sufficient for my habits which consist of approx 40GB of torrents, a bit of skyping, bit of browsing, etc. my ISP makes usage graphs available online, when i checked earlier last month to confirm i'm staying under my 100GB limit the graphs said over the past 12 months the highest i topped was 90GB, usually in the 70's. pretty much what i expected. but when i check their usage graphs again recently it says i've been using over 400GB for the past 3 months straight (as far back as the new graphs go). i call BS and find it very suspicious that my internet usage magically quadruples the same time my ISP wants to start charging for overusage, especially retro-active.
anyhoo, i want to somehow monitor my internet traffic usage independently but i'm not sure the best way to go about it.my home network is the typical modem -> router -> LAN.my router is a new netgear wndr3700, it has a traffic meter built in, but considering it's only forms of notification is cutting the internet off altogether or changing a green blinking LED to and orange blinking LED when the defined limit is reached, it's kinda useless. i just got it a couple months ago too, so buying a new router with better traffic monitoring isn't an option.i could put a net meter on each and every computer i have, then sum up their usage stats, but that would be a pain in the ass and wouldn't take my PS3 or WDTV media player into account, as little as they're used online.my prefered solution is to use an old laptop i hardly touch anymore and set it up as a gateway and share the internet connection or make it a proxy server. that way i could set up a net meter on just the one NIC on that to track my internet usage. modem -> laptop -> router -> LAN. the problem i have hear is forwarding ports from one NIC to the other so they can then get ditributed by the router, never tried this before, not sure how to go about it. right now it has XP home, but i can put 7 on it if that's better to work with.
Users are facing issue since a long time now . Whenever user connected to wireless is idle say 10 -20 seconds he gets disconnected This happens for all the users and even Mac/Win 7 I changed Activity Timeout on AP and even rebooted but still when I do show dot11 associations all-client I see activity-timeout
Users don't get disconnected when there is continous flow of data its only when user is idle
When user disconnects and hit refersh it starts working again

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering if there is an easy way to monitor how much bandwidth is being consumed at any given moment for a home network.specifically, for the incoming/outgoing internet connection.My network is as thus:
DSL Modem -> Wifi Router (Linksys E4200v1 - PPPoE enabled here) -> Gigabit switch -> 2nd Wifi router (D-Link DIR-815 - DHCP disabled, repeats same SSID and password)
Most devices are connected directly into the switch, with one computer hard-plugged into the DIR-815 (I will eventually change this, as the 815 only has 10/100 ports).Basically, I want to easily be able to check how much up/down data is being sent for my internet connection. This means that I cannot use a program on a computer (I've used DL Meter before. Works great, but limited to a single computer).
The Linksys E4200v1 is using standard firmware, but I'm not opposed to loading DD-WRT onto it (was the original plan anyway, just never got around to it), if DD-WRT has this capability.Nice to have feature: Ability to see which devices are consuming what part of the bandwidth. Not necessary, but would be a cool feature.Alternatively, if there is a cheap (like $100 or less deal) box that can interface, say, between the E4200 and the switch, that can do this, that would work as well.
