Networks

Microsoft has basic Network Monitor, but it only works for LAN, ps(not for monitoring non-LAN). It will give u the MAC address, Short description of the traffic (including the port number), IP address of the other computer(if not give a bios name),and IP or UDP protocol. You can also see the packet if u are so incline.

To Install it, goto add/remove programs, under windows componets, click network management tools, then click network monitor.

Hope this helps, and this is the MS solution.

I have Win2000 client machine and the server is NT. The main question is it should give me the IP of the initiator of all the packets of the network (wheather it is ment for me or not) ment for a particular port. Tell me other methods/software.

Besides using the ghetto Microsoft Network Monitor, download Ethereal from www.ethereal.com

It is a full featured sniffer, with excellent filtering capability. Hence you can filter out both ip, protocol, port number, etc.

and the best part is:it is Free!!
