[olug] mystifying cable modem problem

Ethereal is also available under win32 and countless other platforms.

Just remember... if you're using a packet sniffer on a different box that is not apart of the communications (ie: not on client nor host), you have to be running on a 10baseT network.  100baseT networks tend to be switched, meaning you won't see every packet going across the wires.
