    excellent program, does what I need and helps me resolve connection issues and more..

    UI on this site sucks, if I wanted neowin.net I'd go to neowin.net

    Reviewing 0.99.7 (Dec 18, 2007)

    Wireshark 0.99.7 has been released. Many security-related vulnerabilities have been fixed.

    This release improves the privilege separation between the capture code and interface code. It also lets you filter directly on SNMP OIDs, follow UDP streams, and has improved Vista support.

    This software is extraordinary. Open-source, free and give you maximum visibility into pcap files, etc.
