Anyone a guru with this little app? I am trying to set up a portable, configurable network traffic monitor we can use to diagnose bottlenecks or evaluate bandwidth needs for adding VOIP etc to clients networks. This seems like the ticket but I haven't dug too deep yet.

Yeah, but the auctions listed almost made me pee myself thinking of how many people had looked for computer software and found that.

This program is kicking my ass. I have all the php shit working right but my poller just times out trying to get to the mysql database.

If I can get this shit working though, it will be slick. Thanks for the link to frustration.

I think that's my problem but this is my first mysql install so the learning curve is steep.

What OS are you attempting to install it on anyways?
