The Win2k Series and WinXP as well I believe. Everyone probably knows how to turn on the little system tray icon of network activity. All it does is blink during packets sent/receive. No big deal, just was wondering since I have a system with two network cards in it why one monitor shows me total packets (6,000 sent/ 8,000 receive) and another shows me total bytes (2,323,522 bytes sent/ 5,234,221 bytes received).
I really like seeing total bytes rather than packets, but am at a lost at how to switch it. I've looked over the web, even Microsoft's knowledge base. Is this something that is done by the driver installation or is it a reg hack or GUI configuration? The total bytes, helps me spot any strange activity (example, sending 10GB of data a day when the norm is only 10MB)
