What Network Sniffing Tools Do You Use?

Posted by Cliff on from the for-those-interested-in-what-is-out-there dept.

network-nose asks: "I work as a Network Administrator in a 500 user manufacturing facility in southeastern Wisconsin. My job is to keep the company running as close to 100% of the time as possible while trying not to spend any money on up to date hardware and software. As of late, we have been having quite a few network problems that can only really be resolved by sniffing packets. I am wondering what tools the rest of you network guys and gals out there use in a corporate environment for analyzing packets. Of course, the more reasonbly priced the better, but I know you usually get what you pay for."

    Replying to your sig:

    The simple truth is that interstellar distances will not fit into the human imagination

    Nor would they need to, since interstellar distances could not be covered within a single human lifetime. Why bother thinking about what you'll do once you get there? You will never get there in all probability.
