It might be possible to use Network Monitor inside the network to identify
the resources that are being accessed. In addition, you should read the
RRAS Help content to discover what you can accomplish with RRAS tracing.

You can download Network Monitor 3.3 here:

And here is an article that might be of assistance: "How to capture network
traffic with Network Monitor" at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/148942.

Hope that helps...
