Sysmetrix Network Monitor problem

Can you force it to read your network traffic?

from WinCustomize Forums
Searching hasn't helped with this question: Is there a fix/solution/workaround for when Sysmetrix won't read your network traffic? It lists my NIC in the configuration options, but it won't actually report my TCP/IP traffic. It shows both the internal loopback and my network IP address, but when I select the IP address, nothing else happens. I've found a few posts that describe a similar problem, so I know I'm not alone, but no answers. Does anyone know of a way to make Sysmetrix happy with my NIC, or do I need to abandon it and go with something else to monitor my net traffic? Thanks!

Is you NIC connecting to a router? If it is all you will have is a local area connection and not an external connection. Don't know of a work-a-round   

Ideally you'd need to monitor traffic to the router and not the NIC.

Yes,I'm connected to a router, and through that to a cable modem. DX and Samurize have no trouble reading the full net traffic, I'm just hoping someone knows how to "wake up" Sysmetrix.

I've experimented with connecting directly to the cable modem. Under those conditions, SMX sees the net traffic just fine. But, since I have a home network, that's obviously not a viable solution.

Thanks!
