The fact that you are mentioning the airpcap adapter makes me assume that you are using windows. If so, then what you are asking currently isn't available. The airpcap adapter comes very cheap when comparing it to the commercial sniffers, that provide drivers for existing other cards (but not all cards are supported by those either). So if you don't have the money to spend $199, then you will need to replace it by time and learn how to use some other OS where there are cheaper cards available for monitoring, e.g. Linux. There exist live CDs to do something like that, so you won't even need to install Linux but you obviously will need to boot that live CD. Please see http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup for details and always feel free to come back here with further questions. ciao Joerg -- Joerg Mayer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works.
