Ethereal, mentioned by Rick I tried to use. It may be too complicated for a
person who does not want to spend a lot of time reading help definitions,
etc. It is more for college geeks monitoring network traffic in larger
networks, I think. It is my understanding that Ethereal is freeware.
Consirder native Microsoft graphics UI.
I've used it and found it very helpful. It is rahter humanized to the point
that you do not need much introduction. It somewhat alike to NetStatMon, a
freeware which I also used. netStatMon, BTW is quite helpful, seems to be
malware free (at least at the time I used it in XP). From about six month
ago I've decided that MS has everything I will ever need. NetMon.exe is a
testimony to it.
