Install instructions for NetWork Monitor 1.1 for DeskTopX


Thanks to Stanilav Belev for sdtaskmanager.dll
everything else is mine and you can do as you please to it.

Btw this is my first plugin/skin/anything. know it doesn't look that great at
the moment but give me some time and i will update it with newer graphics as well
as new ways to display everything once i figure them out.

BTW you may also edit this skin or whatever you wanna call it without my permission. i
don't mind.


Most people already know how to do this but there are those who don't so here it is


Ok quick setup instructions!

1 ) i left my smc network cards setup in this so you will have to change them 
    to match your network card. you need to change those to your actual network card

2 ) Everything else remains the same, and here is how you do it.


3 ) first load network_monitor_1.1.dxpack into desktopx, next you need to right click 
    on either (the input, output or total lines of text to begin configureing it)

4 ) next hit configure where the sdtaskmanager.dll is listed on the general tab.
    once in that you can begin editing the 3 smc network cards listed, click on the top
    one which is the input one and look at all the settings. make sure none of these change.
    now look ro the right edge and find the configure button and hit it.
    now click on the ethernet tab and select your network card, you will also see a MS TCP
    LoopBack Interface listed as well. you want your card (loopback works but no where near
    as well), anyway, click on your device and select input from the dropdown menu, enable
    restrictions, and set the next 3 items to 0, 10 and kbytes, click finish and repeat for
    the other 2 but make sure you select a different monitor type for each( input, output,
    and total), then make sure all properties on your's match the smc settings. once that
    is done you can remove the 3 smc settings. hit close, hit apply and ok, and go d/l
    something and watch how fast it is or isn't going.

hope this is usefull to someone besides me.
