I have downloaded a few different network monitoring tools, to measure the amount of traffic being sent between machines on the network... After trying a few of these programs, I still have yet to find one that shows the traffic between my IIS and SQL Server.

We use ASP/ADO to query SQL Server via a simple connection string like: "Data Source=myserver; Initial Catalog=mydb; User ID=myname; Password=mypassword"

This is an intranet application used all day every day by every employee in the company, so I would expect to see a constant fair amount of traffic directly between these two servers, which sit right next to each other, on a switch. The PC that I'm running the monitor software on is also plugged into the same switch. Yet I see very minimal traffic in my monitoring software.

Can anyone provide me with any help?

Thanks,
Travis
