I have a 386 laptop that I have hooked up to my network, I use
it for IRC , ICQ and Email . What I want to do it put it "outside" my firewall, and to display packets in real time or to a dump file.
Tks,
Shinobi

The Gobbler

About a third way down the page.

I've never used it, but it sounds like a good one.

My vote is to get Ethereal. The TCP Stream stuff alone makes it worth the download.

Tks Norm, I tried that Gobbler program once before and had a tough time getting the thing to work, but I'll try to D/L it again off of the URL you provided. :D

Windows 3.11 runs mainly 16 bit apps, and has very limited Win32 app support.... and thats a add on.
so I don't think that Ethereal prog will help me out. Tks anyway though for your help. :)

Later,

greEd Tks for the link to snoop.exe, it great!
However, can you please tell me the correct "switch" to add to the
.EXE so that I can see "I.P." address, instead of just MAC Address? I've ried every -e* and i* that's in the man/help files.

Thanks, now it time to eat my Frosty.

The last time I used that program was about 7 years ago and at that time I was more interested in what was contained in the TCP field of packets to find out what was popular on the wire of that specific network ... if you catch my drift ;)

What you are seeing pass up on your screen is just verbose, but none the less captured packets. The -e and -i options are for filtering based on packets received. You could change the source for rarp to resolve ip based on mac for output.

That's the part I don't know how to do...
