You need to find the name of the performance counter on your Windows
server.  I'm pretty sure there isn't one called "\Local Area
Connection\%".  On your Windows system go in to Administrative Tools /
Performance and add the counter you want to look at.  Once you can see
it in the performance tool, right-click on it and click "Properties"
to see the full name of the counter which you want to monitor.
