[quote]depends on the level of logging that has been enabled on the router.\n\nthe short answer is yes. Remember that a router operates at layer 3 of the OSI model and therefore has to inspect every single packet that passes through it.\n\nDepending on who and how the system was set up and the level of logging that was enabled they can see everything you do.\n[/quote]\n\nI'm afraid your answer is not totally correct. Let's take a look at what Router can do at Layer 3 (OSI). At this layer, router only can inspect the IP Header of the packet, and nothing more. While the content of the packet is at Layer 7. Below is a simple sample of OSI 7 layer model\n\n|-------------|\n|  Layer 7    |  Data is processed in this layer, include content of the webpage, URL,...\n|-------------|\n|  Layer 6    |  Data will be converted to an appropriate format, depend on which protocol, application you use at Layer 7. In case of this question, your Data will be sent under HTTP protocol.\n|-------------|\n|  Layer 5    |  This layer handle the connections between your computer and all others computer\n|-------------|\n|  Layer 4    |  Base on type of service, your data will use TCP or UDP. This layer will control data transportation from your computer to another computer.\n|-------------|\n|  Layer 3    |  Network Layer, that's what we are talking about. This layer will find the path from your computer to destination host. This layer don't know what is inside the packet.\n|-------------|\n|  Layer 2    |  This layer will converted your packet into frame.\n|-------------|\n|  Layer 1    |  Your data will be transformed into binary code, and send over Physical media. \n\nNormally, a router can not inspect what is inside the packet. Only Application firewall can do that. But nowadays, base on market needs, most vendor produce a Router which have built-in firewall. And your data can be inspect by that kind of Router. This kind of Router often uses for medium to big company, and it's so pricy, not cheap.\n\nSo the answer here is "Your data could be inspect by the Router, but not all the Router, check Router specification for sure"

your lan connection will always show 100mbps because thats the speed from your connector to your router, most pci lan cards (and built in lan) are setup as a 10/100 mbps card, so the connection is whatever the fastest available speed is from however you are connecting to the internet.  Check your actual speed through your router not the pc.

go to www.toast.net\nclick internet speed test\nin the first box you see on the next screen click "shuttle + text"\nin the second box click your internet service provider, and if it isnt listed click "yahoo"\nthen when the next screen pops up your connection speed on top.\n\n(if you mean your computer speed, i do apologize, for i do not know how to obtain that info for you. however if you are curious what your internet speed is, now you know how to find it out)

Hi!! U can find out the Bytes that u are using in the Internet during ur Connection. Please download the Spyderbar software which helps u to manage all the Functions of ur computer and it helps to monitor all the Details in both graph and Digital meters. Please download it. And enjoy ur system working. Try IT@!@@

You must install the Bandwidth meter. You could also try a network traffic analyser instead.

Please refer to your bittorrent FAQ/Wiki.\n\nGeneral ways to increade download speed are:\nFaster ISP connections\nHaving more than 2 people seeding your file

Note sure how you tested the speed, but you should first use a connection speed test program (many out there, for example http://reviews.cnet.com/7004-7254_7-0.html). Your BB provider may also have a test program. \n\nIf it looks like the speed is still slow afer testing, there is little you can do on your computer (download accelerators do not help w/ large files, just web pages), and you need to call your BB provider to see if the line to your house might be noise (in which case they will automatically throttle the speed), or you are too far away from the CO (which limits the maximum speed of your connection)

you can use http://www.blockstatus.com/ip-proxy-detector to find whether you are behind a proxy or not. Good Luck!\n\nInternet Proxy servers are used for anonymity. That is, to hide your real ip. Surely your ISP will be counting your bandwidth usage, because you connect to these proxies using your internet connection.

you can do ping tests and give them the results...\nstart, run, type "command" on black screen type "ping www.whatever.whatever" <-- not a real url and don't use the " " marks\ndifferent pages will give you different results, in theory the further away it is the longer it will take to ping back.\n\nbut just a note, don't be too hard on the tech support people, they can't really do much to help you with this, and get yelled at all day by people upset that they aren't actually pulling pages as fast as their connection or modem claims to be.  its very frustrating for us...ah, them, sorry about that, not one anymore, but it dies hard.

Ask your ISP to make a update on your bandwidth...

higher ADSL speed, or \n\ncheck this out: http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php\n\nuse the optimal settings provided there, then restart your pc, i'll bet you'll notice a li'l bit of download speed.\n\ngood luck!

Two things might work, switch the power of to your modem and leave for 5 Min's then switch back on, and leave for another 5 Min's so it finds its settings.\n\nNext you can check your MTU to find out what speed is set, follow the link below.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nGood Luck.

Yes, there is. Install an application like nagios (freeware) or Look@Lan (freeware). Have that monitor the IP address of your router.\nBut it's usually not easy to understand all traffic that is going on in your network.
