Leaving TDIMon running overnight should do the trick:

Like most useful programs, this doesn't seem to run on XP64 even in compadibility mode. Thanks for the link though, I can use it on my other boxes.

Microsoft also have the Port Report tool, running as a Windows service:

This one runs on my system, I'll try this, thanks.

Because these tools do not capture the actual network data, you still
want to use ethereal to look at network traffic.
