I opened up the Performance monitor on my HTPC and found that the network throughput indicator there is always at zero! Also, I can't add any performance counters as the message 'Unable to connect to machine' keeps appearing and no counter categories appear. This at least explains why the network monitor app and your patch aren't working, but I've no idea how to sort this out, especially as as far as I can remember my test PC was set up the same and doesn't suffer this issue .

Thanks for you help in getting this far, I guess we're outside the scope of this forum now so I'll shut up...
