I noticed that NetMeter you mentioned is an old version that appears to have not been updated in some time. When I checked the author’s site he even said he found problems with it on Windows Vista. I assume the same problems would exist if using it on Windows 7.

For those who have read Gizmo’s artciles for some time he has talked about NetLimiter Monitor (free version) in the past. It is indeed a good peice of software though I doubt version 2 supports Win7/Vista. They are working on version 3 which will support both but I do not know if a free version will continue to be available or not (with version 3 that is).

Also, you should check out BitMeter II at http://codebox.org.uk/controller?page=bitmeter2 and also it’s newer sibling BitMeterOS at http://codebox.org.uk/bitmeterOs The newer version is has support for multiple operating systems and will be quite interesting to those of us who like to dabble with other operating systems. I know the OS version supports Win7/Vista/XP. However II only says it requires the .NET framework 1.1 or later installed. I suspect it to would work on the newer OS’s but don’t have time to test it right now.

I will also concur NetWorx is another useful tool for monitoring the network also.
