I have 3 computers with Intel Pro 100 NIC. 2 show packets, 1 shows bytes. I consider bytes extremely useful in some circumstances, but packets is useless.
My laptop shows packets in both NICs, but it shows bytes in all VPN connections I make. I was wondering myself about how to set all computers/cards to always show bytes...

It's been bugging the hell out of me for ages. Does *anyone* know how, or why not??
