I'm looking for a bandwidth monitor for 98 that works with ethernet cards and keeps a running total of traffic volumes in and out. Preferably freeware. AnalogX netstat live doesn't work on mine.

Have you try the Network activity indicator from Tihiy ?

I have it. It doesn't supply the running traffic totals I want. At the moment, I'm trying NetMeter 1.1.41 beta from metal-machine. Just installed it moments ago, seems quite good.

NetMeter is the best freeware network meter you can possibly get for 9x. It's packed full of features that it even rivals commercial meters. Development has stopped unfortunately. Several months ago, someone made a few minor updates to it, but only for Windows 7.

Tip: set a frequent log file autosave interval, so that you don't lose hours of entries since the last save if a crash were to occur.

Dumeter 3 should work on 9x I use to use that one all the time but it costs money

NetMeter is pretty good, i've been using it for past few days and I like it

NetLimiter v1.30 supported W9X, try : http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/http://www.netlimiter.com/download/nl_v130.exe

Not sure if "NetLimiter 2 Monitor" does (officially, it doesn't).

link here to site This is the new service pack just made yesterday, It has a network monitor like win2000 which shows in and out data. Its nothing fancy but It can provide basic information.

If you're going to go down the road of installing the USP for features, though, you might as well just install KeX as well and see if you can get Networx working.

Netmeter was the best I found of the native tools.

There is a bandwidth monitor located at this site, but it isn't freeware.

I'm another satisfied NetMeter user, never had a problem with it in five or so years, with or without KernelEx.

NetMeter didn't used to be portable. So I kept another program on my USB stick for running on other people's PCs. Written as an example for programmers, it is here: http://delphi.about.com/od/fullcodeprojects/l/aa112903a.htm

It does not store any details or usage at all, whereas NetMeter does.
