I would like to follow up my inquiries below... to give you a little
backround on our network, we are a distributor of internet content. we
requested a pool of IP addresses from an ISP and we distribute them to the
customers.. I put my analyzer in the router trunk and there it is I am
capturing a huge amount of packet at a short period of time... for this
reason my PC crashes when I stopped and opening the file...
Is there a certain specification of a PC for this amount of traffic in my
network where I can install ethreal...
Thanks
Percival

Anybody help me,
I am using Ethereal in capturing traffic crossing my BIG network, I am
capturing packets at a rate of 1 million packets per hour. The problem is
my PC starts to crash whenever I try to open the captured packets. For a 30
minutes capture averaging for about 500,000 thousand packets seems fine, it
took me 15 minutes to open the file but at least I can retrieve the data.
Is there anybody there who can suggest the appropriate Specifications for
my PC. The current Specs of my PC right now is Pentium 4 CPU 3.0GHz. 256MB
of RAM running in MS Windows XP Pro Version 2002 Service Pack 1.
Any help would be very much appreciated...Thank You
Percival
