LANmonitor—know what's going on
211
V LANmonitor automatically creates a new entry in the device list and initial-
ly displays the status of the transfer channels. Start your Web browser
and enter any web page you like. LANmonitor now shows a connection
being established on one channel and the name of the remote site being
called. As soon as the connection is established, a plus sign against the
communication channel entry indicates that further information on this
channel is available. Click on the plus sign or double-click the appropriate
entry to open a tree structure in which you can view various information
.
In this example, you can determine from the PPP protocol information
the IP address assigned to your router by the provider for the duration of
the connection and the addresses transmitted for the DNS and NBNS
server.
Under the general information you can watch the transmission rates at
which data is currently being exchanged with the Internet.
V To break the connection manually, click on the active channel with the
right mouse button. You may be required to enter a configuration pass-
word.
V If you would like a log of the LANmonitor output in file form, select Device
 Device Activities Logging and go to the 'Logging' tab. Open the dialog
for the settings for the activity protocol, click on Tools
 Options.
