Hi Murali, With Etherpeek you can only examine the ethernet sides of your connection (which in this case should probably enough since the problem seems to be on the Ethernet-segment between router C and the Win98 client). As far as I'm aware you can only sniff serial links with a professional package like Sniffer Pro. Should anybody know of a freeware tool, let me know.
