    Hi Andy,
    I should also explain that in the context of the question asked, that installing a ethereal + winpcap, maybe a reboot etc.. or alternatively dropping a small exe on the box and then capturing some traffic would seem like a better idea.

    Hi Ivan
    I'm interested in why you see ngsniff as a better alternative to Ethereal?
    other than it's comparatively tiny size and not requiring WinPcap ??

    I feel the strength in Ethereal it's awareness of some many different
    protocols, it's gui is fairly slick now and the tcp stream reassembly is
    sweet

    thoughts??

    take care

    Lee,
    to run ethereal on win32 you need to install winpcap also, ngsniff is a
    better alternative.

    Hi,

    Thanks to all who have replied - I wasn't aware ethereal was available
    as a win32 build - that will do perfectly.

    Regards
    Lee
