Ubuntu – Good alternative to NetLimiter

networkingsoftware-recommendation

There is a program NetLimiter for windows. While I was using Windows it was very useful for me to find out the IP address of the person who was downloading from me, or to know IP address of any person on LAN who was using DC++ with some nick. And after that I can easily know the computer name of that person using nbtstat.

I was wondering if there is any tool for Ubuntu using which I can find out the IP address of person who is downloading from me or from whom I am downloading on LAN. I am on university LAN and we are using PtokaX and DC++ for file sharing on LAN. people sometimes put some offencive stuff on open chat on DC++ using some Nick and I don't know how to trace them while I am using Ubuntu.

NetLimiter is a traffic shaping / limiting application as far as I know, but as a consequence it is able to display traffic information connected to IP addresses.

I don't see how you could connect the nickname with the IP address if not by the current volume of traffic.

If you are looking for such information you can try iftop. It tells you the amount of input/output traffic by connection. (It is quite a capable tool, just needs some digging into the manual.)

Alternatively there is nethogs that displays the amount of traffic per application.

you need to go into network manager and change your ip4 settings to shared to other computers

enter image description here

here is the other method using ip tables

this will set the ip of your ethernet card

sudo ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev eth0

and this will configure the nat

sudo iptables -A FORWARD -o wlan0 -i eth0 -s 192.168.1.0/24 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A FORWARD -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE

if the connection you are using for internet is different from wlan0 change that so if you are using mobile broadband it will most likely be ppp0

when you have done that you can save the settings by doing

sudo iptables-save > filename

and to reload the settings

iptables-restore < filename

the restore is needed because after a reboot iptables will forget what the settings entered above if you want it to load every time just put the restore line in /etc/rc.local
