Hi Chris and all,
I have found an accessible sniffer. Its a beta and can be downloaded
from
http://www.ngssoftware.com/index.htm
You need to register before you download the beta but the form is
not a problem. I have used JFW's customise list view feature to good
affect here and I can read the packet data by defining a frame around
the window where it is displayed. I can send configuration files if
any one is interested.
I do not know how this product compares to Ethereal or tcpdump.

Hi Pranav,
I finally could find one much less user-friendly sniffer since its
command line is quite hard to figure out but since it works in text
mode, it's quite useable in a commannd-prompt window.
This piece of software is called TCP Dump but I don't know where to
download it from. The problem is that, while trying to install a
recent
version of Ethereal on my windows system, I noticed that a security
problem prevents me from starting the WinPCap service. Since TCP Dump
also needs WinPCap in order to capture network packets, TCP Dump is
not
useable on my windows computer.
I then could find a solution with my other linux platform but since
TCP
Dump was bundled with my linux distribution, I didn't even try to
find
where else to download it. Sorry about this.
HTH. Have a nice day. Chris

Hi Christophe,
I see that we are looking for the same product. ethereal is out of
bounds since it he uses the GTK. I will let you know if I find
anything.
