<p class="MsoNormal">Currently I am using the identical cfg file to monitor bandwidth on a Windows 7 wireless network adaptor on my laptop. On the test server, the graphed results are exactly what I intended. However, the exact cfg file on the production server
produces dramatically different results. On the production environment, the graph is a continually growing saw-tooth graph that almost appears to be showing the uptime of the interface. If, after a few hours, I turn off the wireless interface and turn it back
on, the graph drops to zero and the saw-tooth begins again. Conversely, on the test server, the bandwidth logs continue to be logged and displayed exactly as intended.<o:p></o:p></p>
