| 255972 | 2004-07-28 03:15:00 | I'm running a small wired network of winXP pc's (2 laptops, 2 desktops), through a hardware switch and router. I'm wanting to keep an eye on network traffic (don't need fancy bells/whistles) so am looking for a decent freeware network monitor. Any recommendations?? | Spartacus (3313) | ||
| 255973 | 2004-07-28 03:20:00 | an older free version of winroute,no idea if you can find it though. | metla (154) | ||
| 255974 | 2004-07-29 04:27:00 | I found Ethersnoop (freeware) here (http://www.arechisoft.com) and am giving it a go: initial indications are that it will do the job - doesn't appear to offer host resolution unfortunately, but does give full packet breakdown of some of the more common protocols. | Spartacus (3313) | ||
| 255975 | 2004-07-29 05:00:00 | Have a look at these (www.distrowatch.com), there should be one that fits your needs, most will exceed them. Some will run off a CD or floppy. Cheers Murray P |
