We're trying to get ODT-NET (SCO's TCP/IP package) up and running on a small office Ethernet. Unfortunately, we're having some problems with it (the local machine can successfully be ping'd, but remote machines can't), and I'm trying to figure out where the problem is. I have a feeling that packets aren't even getting out onto the network cable, but we don't have a network monitor and the boss isn't too eager to drop $2000 for what is probably a one-time problem. We do, however, have an extra Ethernet card and a PC laying around. It would seem fairly simple to write a program that just pulled in data from the network card and displayed it on the screen, possibly with options for hex mode, and perhaps even understanding of some of the more common network protocols to help decipher the packets. Does anybody know of such a program that runs under MS-DOS? PD/freeware/shareware would be best, but commercial wouldn't be too bad as long as the price was reasonable (i.e., cheaper than one of the hardware net-monitor jobs). (Followups to comp.os.msdos.misc, please.) -- Marc Unangst | mju@mudos.ann-arbor.mi.us | Angular momentum makes the world go 'round. ...!umich!leebai!mudos!mju |
