Setup a linux box, install ntop, and then see what that shows you.
If you decide to go this way and need any help, gimme a shout.

If your T1 line is maxed, I would suggest you use some type of network

Subject: possible rooted systems


I am a lan administrator at a small school system with a T1 line for the
internet. Lately I've noticed that the T1 line has been maxed, and a week
later, it still is maxed out. I strongly believe that a few systems have
been
rooted (no viruses/trojans show up on scans) and need a novell based
packet
sniffer to determine what is legitimate and illegitimate traffic. Does
anyone
know of any good ones? We run many xp and 98 boxes with multiple novell
servers. I think some of the 98 boxes are the ones that were rooted On
using
them I've noticed one common thing on every one of them at that building.
spyware beyond usage (current record 35000 entries before adaware locked
up).
I know how I can just fix it, but I need some sort of log so I can justify
my
means. ;)
Thanks
Kyle
