Is there a bandwidth meter that can be set to ignore LAN traffic?

I have one network card in each PC and a router, I want to be able to log
all internet (WAN) traffic, but ignore local LAN traffic!

Thanks!

Don't know of any PC software, but you could put in a IPCOP server in the
chain. This will record the WAN traffic and LAN traffic seperately. Use an
old PC for the job and download (for free) IPCOP from www.ipcop.org

Great little program, but I have just tested it here and it seems to throw
the CPU into 100% use. Especially when downloading with a torrent client.
Shame that.....

Agreed - I've been using the free one of this to pick up SNMP traps from the
WAN side of my router to see if I can change to the Zen 8Mb offering or not.

PC will need a licensed copy...
