How can I monitor total NIC throughput on my server?

[GeneralDzur]

I'm trying to monitor throughput on my server's Gb NIC. I tried NetStatLive, but it didn't work too well because it doesn't save traffic/throughput history.

Does anyone know of a free (preferably) utility that exists for this?

If you go to control panel, administrative tools, performance, add counters, you can add network counters

Thanks Helen, I think I'll do that.

While I was surfing around, I came across a SourceForge app - FreeMeter. It's still in beta (a lot of features aren't working yet), but it saves daily/weekly/monthly traffic stats, and doesn't require installation. I will mess around w/ the counters today.

Thanks!
