I concur on the usefulness of the gadget, and I have donated in the past. Sam? have you given up on working this gadget? It would be great to hear from you on this, and if not, port monitoring would be a bitchin addition to this awesome tool.

Network monitor has been the most worthwhile gadget that I have ever installed. Unfortunately, Windows 8 blocks ALL gadgets.

It would be great if Network Monitor could be rewritten (ported or whatever the correct terminology is) into a small app that could be run from the Notification area. It would remove the last hurdle that stands in the way of me running Windows 8 as my production OS.

This is a great gadget! However it does not seem recognize the file shares. How do I add File servers or File shares to the Devices list?
