There are two primary differences between Sniffer Pro and Ethereal (as far
as Ethernet is concerned):

1) The Sniffer expert analysis. It actually takes some expertise to tune it
to your network, but once accomplished, it can be a useful tool for
isolating problems quickly.

2) Graphical representation of your traffic flow. Many times for me, a
traffic matrix, protocol breakdown, broadcasts/sec graph over time, or other
graphs help me to see issue in our network quickly.

I know this doesn't always sound like an in-depth approach to isolating
issues, but those features are good for a first-cut,
where-should-I-focus-first kind of step.

Subject: [Ethereal-users] cannot see SIP and SDP on Ethereal

I installed 0.8.17 on my win2k machine. I specify:
- Edit:Protcols: eth, ip, udp, tcp, sip, sdp
- in Filter: sip or sdp
- in Capture:Start, I selected all 4 boxes, Interface:
\Device\Packet_{4E3446CC-F203-4C11-98A7-F64F163DF5F7}, Count: 0 (Infinite).

I run 2 software phones, one on the same machine as Ethereal, on port 10001,
and another on another win2k machine on 10002. The problem:
I don't see anything being captured. I've seen the thing working with the
same configuration on other machines/networks.
Please help.

Many thanks.
