Windows reported number of packets vs packet sniffers

Does anyone know why packet sniffers report about 5x more packets than MS Windows "Local Area Connection Status? 194.83.139.136 (talk) 11:13, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Needs a solution to prevent packet sniffers getting in a network.

Self explanatory, really.

Network General isn't a sniffer

Network General is a maker of packet sniffers, not a sniffer itself. Guy Harris 01:47, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Title

Why does 'Packet Sniffer' redirect to 'Packet sniffer'? Shouldn't it be the other war 'round? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Joeldipops (talk • contribs) 17:11, 5 June 2007 (UTC).[reply]

No. "Packet sniffer" is not a proper name, it's a category of software, so it's not capitalized. Guy Harris 20:16, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Microsoft Network Monitor

Why Omit Microsoft NetMon? NetMon III does a better job of cracking MS protocols than Wireshark... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.108.217.94 (talk • contribs) 13:02, 11 June 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Because there's no Wikipedia page for it. All the links to external pages were removed in this change. Create a page for NetMon if you want it to be mentioned here. Guy Harris 20:16, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
