Monitoring Tools

[James]

Hello,
I am not sure if I am in the right newsgroup or
anything but here goes:

I was wondering if there were any good free monitoring
tools on the internet. The reason I am asking is I am a
Systems Admin and well one of our users has come up and
asked to monitor internet,E-Mail and applications access
on the users computer. They have a Static IP which gets
leased to them from the DHCP server. I would also like to
start monitoring the netwoek traffic on some of our
switches. So please could some one assist with this matter
and point me in the right direction?

Many Thanks

James

Ethereal is a free-ware sniffer/network monitor tool. It has some analysis
features as well.

"They have a Static IP which gets leased to them from the DHCP server."

Huh?
