Hey everybody, I am totally new to ethereal. I just ran a random capture last night before I went to bed to see what would happen. When I got up it had capture almost 250000 packets in 6 hours. Now I was wondering is this normal for a cable modem? Or is my computer going crazy sending and receiving packets? I am on a cable modem with winXP.
