Weird Bandwidth Hog Issue

embo
We have an odd issue at our house... There is something in our house that keeps uploading a bunch of data.  It happens every other month or so, and when it does, it uploads about 8-9GB of data in a span of 2-3 days.  I don't know what device is doing it, and I have no idea where it is going, and most importantly, I don't know WHAT is being uploaded.

Can Astaro help me figure this out?  

We have a lot of network devices.  Desktops, laptops, cell phones, tablets, gaming devices.  Everything goes through one wireless router, which goes to the cable modem/internet.  I can install Astaro on a desktop with 2 nics, and put it between router and modem.  I have the tech knowledge for getting this done.  I just don't know if Astaro is the right tool or not.

    Hi Barry,

    Yes, I can see that the first host transferred 2GB.  Does that mean it transferred the 2GB or part of it from another host on the local network or from the outside Internet?

    Also, what about the "External Address"?  This is my public IP...  Why only 543MB???  I would have expected this NIC to show 2.7GB of traffic minimum.  Since my ISP is saying that I downloaded 2.7GB, shouldn't that have passed through the "External Address"?
