["James Courtier-Dutton" <James@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For a windows user, all you need is: -

If people are looking for a good packet sniffer, I would recommend

http://www.ethereal.com/

Just get the http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/win32/ethereal-setup-0.9.0-1.exe

It is a free open source packet sniffer with very advanced capabilities.

E.g. Full TCP session decode. I.e. Ii can recreate the telnet session screen

from the packets.

It runs very well on Windows 2000 sniffing the LAN.

You need to install WinPcap first http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/winpcap/

It can read packet traces from Etherpeek and MS Netmon files.

Cheers

James

Subject: [Ethereal-users] is there a version for idiots like me?

Looking at the ethereal website, it looks like a great capture tool which I could use.

The problem is that I am definately not a programmer, and do not have the time to learn.

 

It looks to me like the download is beyond me. I dont want to load a compiler, and assemble the code myself. Cant I just download an idiots version.?

 

Is there a one click windows version available thats as easy to download as getting an upgrade from the Microsoft website.?

 

I'm strictly a hardware guy, I want a packet capture to reinforce my knowledge of TCP/IP, and network faultfinding. I do not have the skills to add any source code or contribute any modifications.

 

I suspect your answer might be "this is not the product for you,- go out and purchase Net-X RAy or Sniffer- I hope not because I cant afford this software.

 

sincerely
