How Does Windows XP Troubleshooting with PRTG Work?
PRTG's comprehensive Windows XP network troubleshooting functionality is supported by numerous methods of network data acquisition:

PRTG runs continuously on a server within your network, recording network usage parameters. The easy to use web-based interface allows to you to configure the devices and sensors that you want to monitor.
