| activity light My modem and router are in a different room. I am used to bieng able to glance at the modem and watch the activity light to see if any traffic is in or out bound. Are there any utilities that I can use to simulate this? I searched version tracker and didnt find anything I liked. it needs to be a GUI type app.

| Did you find a console application? One could then code a nice interface for it.

| in the terminal: tcpdump -i eth0 If the connection is ethernet 0, just exchange eth0 with the dev of your modem and there you go. EVERY traffic will be listed. If this is too boring for you, try get one of those system monitors from Versiontracker. A good one is System Manager.

| I used to use this app in the early days of OSX: Network Statistics Dockling - 1.0.5 found here: http://www.versiontracker.com/morein...d=11025&db=mac It was OK - it had a little double graph that sat in your dock and basically you could tell what was going in and out of an interface (e.g. airport in my case). I don't use it now though - I prefer to keep as little in my dock as possible. Its OK - though it is too small to see details really. R.

| I will prefer this NetMonitor. http://www.apple.com/downloads/macos...etmonitor.html Which can be set as a dock icon, menu icon, or transparency window.
