    Distributed Sniffer COM port problem - any ideas?

    Hi Owen, I believe it was version 4.2 of Sniffer Distributed that included the ability to hyper terminal onto the unit to change the IP address information. Due to this feature there is a COM port clash when using a matrix switch. To use any matrix switch, you need to disable the...

    DSS 4.1 and SnifferBook

    Hi, For you reference the latest version of Sniffer Distributed is v4.3, and for Sniffer Portables v4.7.5. The reason I mention this is, that it may be required to upgrade the firmware of the Sniffer Book, for compatablity and eliability issues. Information on this is found in the Install...

    Is there a SIP protocol interpreter for sniffer?

    Hi, As SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), is a signaling protocol for Internet conferencing, telephony, presence, events notification and instant messaging (as no doubt you are aware), this isn't supported in the normal Sniffer LAN products. Sniffer does have a VoIP module called Sniffer Voice...

    export and import capture files

    Hi, Some thing that be may be of use is a software product called &quot;ProConvert&quot;. It allows the user to change the format of capture files from one analyser type to another. It's made by a competitor to Sniffer &quot;Wildpackets&quot;. I find it particulary useful for changing Snoop...

    SPAN ports

    Hi, The idea of matrix switxhes is to give maximum network visibilty for very little cost. A Matrix switch is a hardware device that allows a user to monitor a wide range of different network segments using one sniffer. (At any one time you can only see 1 segment, it does not combine the...

    What Wireless Card would you suggest?

    Hi, If you haven'r already bought Sniffer Wireless, it's well worth taking a look at &quot;AirMagnet&quot; (www.airmagnet.com). They make a far more comprehensively featured set of wireless analysers, which are far more cost effective. Not only do they have the same monitoring functions, but...

    Remote Control of DSS boxes

    Hi, From past experience, if you do use any other &quot;Remote Control&quot; software I do recommend un-installing &quot;Remote Desktop 32&quot; (RD32). FYI - Remote Desktop used to be a NAI product that they sold, but now they just bundle it in with the Sniffer Distributed Appliances. Alf

    HELP !!! display capture files

    Hi, This shouldn't be a problem as the *.cap format is a standard format for capture files, and Sniffer v4.7 should be back-ward compatable!! The only time I've seen when it isn't, is when Voice (VOIP)traffic is involved or when theres an un-supported decode!! Is this the case for you? If not...

    Wins Queries

    Hi All, I recommend removing this Expert Alarm from your set ups (Tools, Expert Options, Alarms), the reason being: when a node send a WINS request it does it to a default address (in a similar way a broadcast 255.255.255.255), therefore you rarely see the WINS server replying to the node that...
