I've been trying to find an application that will let me monitor how much of my DSL bandwidth is being used up by computers on the home network, by IP. I live in a share house and it would be useful to be able to identify usage via a more scientific method than unplugging people one by one!
I've tried searching this forum & online to no avail, is anyone familiar with this sort of software and give me advice? I've downloaded Wireshark but I couldn't get it to give me the results I need.

If anywhere, the software would have to be on a router, or any other machine which sat between your internet connection and the rest of your network.

My netgear FS726T does this, and it is cheap for a managed switch.
It also has other nice stuff like vlan and so on.
Port 26 is incomming internet
Port 25 internet to firewall
Port 24 is firewall to lan
Port 1 is IP TV
The rest is my lan.
This image might be better to describe it.
