    hmm the version i got of net meter is a freeware and just shows the bandwidth i'm consuming..

    Is there another one that can show the bandwidth others on my network are consuming? You got a link for that?

    Thanks in advance

    Network magic shows bandwidth usage with their Network Reports Function. Though it is 50 bucks, and they also see your Internet usage.

    They actually can make separate reports for each user though.

    There is no "free" way to do that?

    DD-WRT may be able to do, not sure though so check it out. It is actually an open source router firmware.
