Well, I know (or at least I'm fairly certain) that the traffic I wish to see
is not coming in on an odd port, i.e. I believe it uses port 80.  Also I
believe it is using http. I also think it is formatted as XML, but I haven't
been able to confirm that yet. It passes through a router to the server that
processes it and sends it back.

I am dealing with a client-side VB application that sends data to a server
and receives a reply, probably using the Inet control. I want to confirm
that the work being done on the client side is correct and that the data
being sent to the server makes sense. If it does, then I know the strange
results we are seeing probably come from a problem in the server-side code. 

thanks,

Patrick
