How to track data usage on individual computers

[ennoh]

At home I have 6 computers in a wireless network. We do not have a dedicated server, and we have a Netgear ADSL wireless modem.
Is there any way of monitoring data usage on each individual computer without putting a programme on each individual computer? We are using up a lot of data and all of my kids point to the other when I mention the fact that we are going over our daily quota...... I just want to be able to track who the culprit

It may be necessary to use applications if you want to track the data usage on individual computers. You can use one of the below:

• Internet Data Download 1.6
• Internet Usage Monitor 8.0
• Data Doctor's Secure Data Wiper 3.0
• Ontrack Data Recovery Verifile Data Reports 2.0

Or you can check the History from each computer and then check the details of computer use.

Is it possible that I can access this data using one of the suggested applications and without having to log on to each individual computers? Ie - to check download data remotely?

Many people keep sensitive information on shared computers, and have an interest in keeping data private. Windows records a number of user activities in log files. You need some sort of SNMP application.
