What is a good, easy to use, free, packet sniffer or network moniter or whatever they are called?

May also need Winpcap, the latest version with it.

My favorite is WPE(Winsock Packet Editor). http://fly.to/mtc

CommView - Requires a key though

I finally got Ethereal to work on my Windows XP Pro with a 56k connection. Seems WinPcap 3.0 didn't have support at the time for it. WinPcap 3.1 adds support for PPP connections. Now after looking at the bnet packets from starcraft connecting. I'm still lost lol, gotta learn how to read the packets.

Can someone fill me in as to what these acronyms mean?

SYN
ACK
PSH
FIN

Lookup "tcp flags"

you should put up a filter for tcp udp port 6112 and packetlen > 0 then u get only the packets with data and not the other for you useless protocol stuff ^^

Thanks.

WPE gave me an error on startup and the other one works fine.  Only problem is I can't figure out what the values in the data are.  Anyone know a tutorial or website or something that might help?
