Hi all,
Can I get some input on the above subject as far as 'quality' and ease of
usage.  Also, I have the below question if anyone could help.  I know it's
not Ethereal related, but I'm desperate.

Can you filter a subnet on a sniffer pro?                                                                  
                                                                                                                    
I'm using sniffer pro 3.0 on NT platform.  I am able to filter a single                                             
host or any host.  But I cannot filter a subnet, for example,
10.10.10.0/24.  I have tried entering in all sort of combination such as:                                           
                                                                                                                    
10.10.10.*                                                                                                          
10.10.10.*.*                                                                                                        
10.10.10.0/24                                                                                                       
10.10.10.0 /24                                                                                                      
10.10.10.0/255.255.255.0                                                                                            
10.10.10.0 /255.255.255.0                                                                                           
10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0                                                                                            
10.10.10.any                                                                                                        
10.10.10.                                                                                                           
10.10.10.0                                                               
                                           
                                                                                                                    
                                                                                                                    
                                                                                                                    
What am I missing?  Or maybe this sniffer software doesn't support a                                                
subnet filtering?  If that's the case, then it's rediculous.  Because it                                            
does support 'any' which is everything.                                                                             
                                                                                                                    
Thanks for any input.
