You should install a network monitor if you have a server. If no server then use one pc as a model and run the live apps there while monitoring bandwidth. Many live apps are potential back doors for intruders, so I'm sure you do stay abreast of product updates and security enhancements in this regard. I have associates use AutoNOC happily http://www.autonoc.com/, perhaps you can find it useful as well.
