Question : Internet usage/monitoring/Sonicwall<wbr /> TZ170

Is there a way I can check and see exactly how much bandwidth is being used by a user/computer? The TZ170 show an IP address and the ammount of data they have transmitted, but it does not show what that IP transmitted to or from, nor does it really tell me much about how much bandwith that IP is hogging.  More specifically there are some users that are using internet radio and it is starting to kill our connection. I would like to be able to see that computer x is hogging 64k of data, going to/from x.x.x.x/www.website.com on port xxxx in realtime.  Cost will be a concern.

PS I tried Viewpoint but it did not give me what i was looking for.

Answer : Internet usage/monitoring/Sonicwall<wbr /> TZ170

There is no specific way to do this as the TZ unit won't show you on a per IP basis. What you can do is increase logging and see what internet radio websites they are accessing then block them.

Also you can use tools like  Ntop (http://www.ntop.org) or Ethereal (http://www.ethereal.com) to get an idea of who's connecting to what.
