LAN Monitoring
Anyone know any good programs to detect what file a computer is accessing? Like, I am sharing movies on my home network, and another computer on the network is watching it. Is there a program I can run from my computer to let me know what file is being accessed and from who? Thnx

what OS are you using? Windows XP Pro and other NT based systems have file auditing services built-in.. It's been a while since I've used them, but I remember being able to log "remote" file access and things.
Alternately, you can make them go through an interface to get to the files.. i.e. run a web server that can transfer out the files (to local machines only) that will then log the data for you in its access logs or various other systems.

It's nothing special. My computer is running XP Pro, and I have a folder called Movies shared on the network. So if a computer browses MSHOME, finds my machine, and opens the movies folder, they can open a movie and watch from their computer. I don't want to create log files and such, I just want a program that I can leave open that monitors when a connection is made to my computer, and what the computer is connecting to (aka, what video they're watching). Thnx

did a quick prayer to google.. it found this: http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/filemon.shtml
sounds like it may be what you want.

Wow. Thanks, man. Could you tell me what you typed into google? This program definitely is along the lines of what I want, but it shows me EVERYthing that happens. I'd prefer something that wasn't as power consuming and only monitored remote accessing from the network, not what my computer is running itself.
