Does anyone know of a simple way of showing which of my machines on my home network is hogging all my data?

I recently discovered that something on my network is using ~30M per hour all day and night and I'd like to find out what it is. I guess I could go around and turn each thing off and check my ISP's usage meter over a few hours, but there must be a better way of doing it.

I have a WRT54GL running:

Firmware              OpenWrt Kamikaze - With X-Wrt Extensions 8.09
Kernel          Linux 2.4.35.4 #15 Fri Jan 22 11:36:55 CST 2010
MAC          00:18:39:ED:A2:73
Device         Linksys WRT54G/GS/GL
Board         Broadcom BCM5352 chip rev 0
Username          root

Web mgt. console          Webif²
Version        r4838

I'm very lazy, so an installable package that can do this over a web interface would be ideal, but not necessary.

anyone?

Netflow seems like the ideal tool for the job. My job for the last week has been getting netflow data from our University core switches to analyse our network traffic, so I've done a search for Netflow support for OpenWrt. This looks pretty nice - http://weblog.etherized.com/posts/127

No guarantees, but it looks simple enough....
