Internet UsageI would like to write a simple application to keep track of my internet usage on my home network. High speed telephone line and networks card hooked into gateway (2-Wire model #RG2701GH-00 supplied with high speed telephone internet access). 1 – Is it possible? 2 – How do I get access to the gateway? 3 – How do I get access to the telephone port of the gateway? Background I have been in touch with 2-wire and my service provider - they don't offer any software. Service provider does offer an online summary of usage – but always 3 days behind. I have seen many applications that monitor all network traffic (EG: Netmeter) and some very complicated network monitoring tools that monitor much more information than I need, but nothing in between. Any help appreciated Gary Pollard "Gary Pollard" <Gary Poll***@discussions.microsoft.com> a écrit dans le message de news: EB024435-92A0-4C90-B631-F2A3167C1***@microsoft.com...Show quoteHide quote > Using VB6 By "gateway" I assume that you are talking about a modem/router.> > I would like to write a simple application to keep track of my internet > usage on my home network. > > High speed telephone line and networks card hooked into gateway > (2-Wire model #RG2701GH-00 supplied with high speed telephone internet > access). > > 1 - Is it possible? > 2 - How do I get access to the gateway? > 3 - How do I get access to the telephone port of the gateway? > > Background > I have been in touch with 2-wire and my service provider - they don't > offer > any software. > > Service provider does offer an online summary of usage - but always 3 days > behind. > > I have seen many applications that monitor all network traffic (EG: > Netmeter) and some very complicated network monitoring tools that monitor > much more information than I need, but nothing in between. > > Any help appreciated > Gary Pollard These usually have a web interface (which you can access by http://gateway_ip_address) and one of the status pages may include traffic statisitics. Many also have a telnet command line interface (CLI) where you can also pick up statistics. Either way you can access these statistics with a little VB programming. Thank You
I will have to do some more checking. I was able to access it through the ip address and there are some stats - just not sure yet if the stats are for just the internet traffic or all traffic passing through the modem/router.
