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.

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.
