net limiter it is counting the data passing through the system it is installed on , look at your isp's website as it would have some sort of usage monitor telling you what is being used then you can compare to net limiter readings
Internal network streaming counting as download
Hi People, I have a linksys WAG200G wireless setup and I think internal network video streaming may be being counted in my monthly download quota. Has anybody experienced this ? I stream from dreamboxes across my network to laptops etc and I just noticed on Netlimiter that it is showing as internet usage. Can this be correct ? Any thoughts welcome

How are you logging into you other computer ?? via IP addy such as 192.168.1.1 or via mycomputer.homeftp.net/or something via a DYNDNS org server ???
When you do things right, people won't be sure that you have done anything at all
Via IP address generally
not likely.....never seen that happen before....
Can Happen.
If you use the IP address from your ISP ie. 192.168.x.x
instead of your internal IP address ie. 10.1.1.13 then it will go out thru your modem to the External DNS then back to your modem showing up as Quota.
I know a Dreambox user who has 1 internal box with the server address as the internal and another as the external so if his modem looses connection with the exchange 1 box stops the other keeps working. Gives him an idea of how glitchy or pixi his outside clients are.
Your counter is counting traffic on your network card, regardless of whether it is internal or external to your network.
Pull the phone line from your modem and check whether your stuff still streams.
What happens if I press alt + F4?
If the devices used for streaming all have LAN (local area network) addresses e.g. 192.168.xxx.yyy / 10.1.xxx.yyy or similar, which I assume they do, there is no way that the streaming data can appear on the WAN (wide area network i.e. internet) unless you are also specifically addressing a device on the WAN e.g. 204.110.xxx.yyy.
It's as rob916 has explained. Do as he suggests to put your mind at rest.
Your router should support feeding info to this it will tell you exactly what is going up and down the pipe
