Other Tabs

  • The Networking tab displays a bandwidth consumption history graph. As network operations occur, this graph will plot the levels of usage. If the system has two network adapters, you can determine which one is active, and separate graphs show activity on each adapter.

  • The Users tab shows a list of all active users on this system or connected via the network. From here, you can disconnect a network user, log off a local user, or send a user a text message. The Users tab will be visible only if you are not participating in a Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003 Active Directory-based network or have not disabled Fast User Switching if participating in a workgroup.
