NTop for Windows

with 3 comments

NTOP is a great network monitoring tool used primarily with Linux based system.  However, in 2006 NTop released NTOP-XTRA which was designed for Windows XP.  This excellent tool works with Windows 7 and can be used to monitor your network.  Not as detailed as the Linux versions of NTop today, NTOP-XTRA for Windows is still an excellent graphical program.  NTOP-XTRA must be ran with firefox.

Note:  If you find and download the software below for Windows, you will start the OPENXTRA Commander services and open Firefox’s browser to http://127.0.0.1:3000

Because NTOP-XTRA installs Winpcap, you may elect to NOT install their version and download the lastest version here.
