Re: Mac packet sniffer

[System Administrator]

I use a product called EtherPeek. It is a great protocol analysis app. It comes with a full suite of other network tools as well.

It is made and sold by a company called "Wild Packets." They just changed their name to this from AG NetTools recently.

diagnose the integrity of an ethernet network?  I'm not trying to look at
the contents of the packets, just to see whether any are being dropped or
whether there is an excessive number of collisions.

Ted,
I often use IPNetMonitor for the purpose you have described:

http://www.sustworks.com/site/prod_ipm_download.html#IPNetMonitor

The single user cost is $30 with online delivery.

The tech support with this product comes directly from its author and
the response time is usually hours if not minutes.

Their online tutorial is very useful:

Title: Re: Mac packet sniffer


Does anyone know of a Mac utility that
can sniff ethernet packets to
diagnose the integrity of an ethernet network?  I'm not trying to
look at
the contents of the packets, just to see whether any are being dropped
or
whether there is an excessive number of collisions.

Regards, Ted

Finding and
Fixing Potholes on the Information Highway

Anyone who has
used the Internet for a while realizes it doesn't always work as
consistently as we would like. Not unlike many highways, it seems
there are frequent potholes, traffic tie-ups, and endless
construction.

This results in a
litany of questions -

* Why is this connection so slow?
*   
Why can't
I access this published URL?
