Has anyone found a program that will monitor Internet traffic with a LAN (Linksys Wireless-G router)?

I am in a ex-C&W area, with a STB, and a LAN. I've always used DUMeter which is nice, but it includes 'inside' LAN traffic as well as traffic going 'outside', which is going to screw up my log.

Has anyone found a good app that will monitor traffic going outside from my computer (and preferably the others, but i'll tolerate it from my desktop only), but ignore the general LAN traffic? I use RealVNC which is really bandwidth heavy so that does have a big impact on my log. I've poked around and searched, but I can't seem to see a solution for STB/ex-C&W people. I might be getting a SACM soon (providing they don't hit me with a new contract) for the speed upgrade, is it any easier with that?

Thanx.
