Sounds to me like you are not wanting to see the acctual traffic, you just
want to see who is hogging the bandwidth.  Might I suggest www.ntop.org
I believe that ntop should be better suited to this sort of task.  It will
show top bandwidth users, and what they are doing (ftp, audiogalaxy, http,
etc) but will not show the exact traffic as ethereal would.  Seems like a
pain to sift through 79 computers that you don't want to find a high
bandwidth users when ntop will tell you in a second.

Hi,
Before I go to the trouble of downloading & installing Ethereal, I would
like to verify that it will give me the answers that I need.
I am in charge of a LAN, which has some 80 computers connected to it and the
LAN is connected to the WWW via a cisco router & a Frame relay.
Sometimes some users start hogging the FR & I would like to see who is doing
this. I suspect that people are sitting at work downloading PM3s or
something, so I wouild like to see computer IP  on our network & http/ftp or
what ever on the www.

Thanks

Arieh
