I second Ethereal. The GUI is slightly cumbersome to use (they really need a wizard for those who only use it occasionally), but will show you every last bit of traffic. Won't really work properly if you are trying to figure out data traveling over VPN (found that out recently - it made complete sense but resulted in one of those enlightening 'duh' moments). -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* VerifyMyPC 2.5 Change tracking and management tool.
