Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
Ok so I have my own network (100% mine). I am looking for the best packet sniffer to get everything that goes through my network. Many reasons for this, mostly just to make sure that the proper people are using it.
what is the best program that will provide this for me? can run on either windows or linux, don't matter. I have tried ethereal on windows but it is only getting packets sent to this computer and on linux it can't figure out that i have 2 network devices and explodes.

feyd:
my router is junk. i can't even describe. so no logging on it (as far as the router settings show)
With tcpdump (search for windump if you're on windows) you can put your network interface into promiscious mode... From there, you can even decide to write your own php filter... Anyway, it only offers you analysis of the traffic...
If you want to restrict access, you'd need to configure firewall etc....
