Maby there is a way to track the send packages with a TCP/IP monitor,

I don't trust the in-built development version bandwidth tracker. Not saying it isn't right, but sometimes it gives me funny, seemingly contradictory results (like setting everything to unreliable and still getting reliable bandwidth).

Be that as it may, there is no maybe about it.
Here's what you can do with Windows 98, 2000, XP, and 2K3: you go to "control panel->administrative tools" and open "performance"... this is the Performance Monitor (perfmon) and...

-To do real-time monitoring:
Click "System Monitor" off "console root" on the left window.
Click "new counter set" to start fresh.
Click the "plus sign" on top to "add counters".
Select "network interface" AND/OR "TCP" AND?OR "UDP" performance objects.
If you have more than one network card, select the "instance" you want to monitor.
Select your counter(s) from the appropriate list and click "add" for each one.
Repeat for other instances, objects, and counters.
Close the window and you will see a real time display of your selected counters.

-To do off-time monitoring:
Click "Counter Logs" off "Performance Logs and Alerts" off "Console Root" on the left window.
Right-Click "counter logs" and select "new log settings" and name it.
Add "ojects" and "counters" as before.
Select the schedule you would like the log to work on.
Once you close, you can right click directly on the log to manually start or stop.
Once you have generated the log file, go back to "system monior" off the console root on the left window.
Click "View Log Data" and select "log files".
Select the file you wish to view.
