If you are running under Windows NT or 2000. You can use the utilities provided by the company:

[list=1][*]Server Monitor[*]Task Manager[*]Performance Monitor[*]Network Monitor: This utility is for finding out what is happening around your server at the packet level of network transmission. It also monitors all the traffic to and from the server. Furthermore it can be set to filter information from a particular node or address.[/list=1]

I'm doing the first steps... Since the firewall is some kind of unix I'm using tcpdump with a file capture that then download from firewall to my machine and analyze it with ethereal... Quite simple but effective!!! I'm playing with IO graphs...

i guess what important is what is the tools to use to view the network traffic percentage.. i also using ethereal to get packets.. but it is all in text format.. is there any software the can read ethereal saved files and present it in a grahpical format.. at least it is more clear to management level when doin presentations..

Graphical statisticas are avaible for analysis in "statistics" menu... Just load the CAP file go there and filter the traffic you want to see graphically...

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

ifconfig

route

route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.0.5

route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.5

something along those lines should allow you to route a connection though 2 Nics, ive seen an article on this somehwere, its about making a knoppix router, but i just jotted this down in my note book for future reference.

Hope you can make some use of it
