Cable Forum - View Single Post - Monitoring IP traffic to and from a NAS server?

Hi all,

I've been wondering if the DOS nbtstat command would work for this purpose but not sure as it doesn't really appear to.

I have a NAS server which is basically an external hard disk that has a basic web interface that allows you to set up FTP accounts to access it.

Having at set times opened FTP ports on my router to allow access I have heard the disk start up (set to sleep after 5 minutes of activity) but nothing shows on the inbound traffic at that point on the logs on my WRT54G router (DD-WRT firmware) what is incoming on that port. It will though if I switch the LANdisk off and refresh the incoming log and check the incoming IP on FTP on www.dnsstuff.com to find it's in Saudi Arabia or the US or something...

I'd like some sort of utility that could show me at any point any activity on that IP address (my Landisk) either inbound or outbound?

Does anyone know any kind of tool or utility that could do that?

Cheers
