LAN Monitor v1.3.4

** Updated Nov 29, 2003

Download your free copy of Karen's LAN Monitor

Karen's LAN Monitor starts by displaying important information about every network adapter on your computer. These details include the adapter's speed, IP address(es), DHCP Lease information, and more.

Next, the program shows all current connections between your computer and others on the local network, and on the Internet. You'll see the name and IP address of the remote computer, and the type of connection (HTTP, POP3, FTP, etc) that's being made!

The LAN Monitor also displays real-time traffic statistics, including bytes sent and received, transmission errors, and network connection load factors.

Note: The LAN Monitor requires features that are not included in Windows 95. As a result, Windows 98, or later, is required.
