try this guys, its the windows port of unix's tcpdump, and its free

http://windump.polito.it/

also sniffer pro is pretty good (only one of these 3 that isnt free):

http://www.snifferpro.co.uk/

ethereal is good, its free and cross platform:
http://www.ethereal.com/

i got this info from a friend of mine who says

"Usually i just use tcpdump to capture and if i need to look for content i
use ethereal to put it back together and "follow the tcp stream". You can
read back emails, AIM, tftp tranfsers to your routers, telnet sessions,
anything"
