I've tried to install Sniffer Pro 4.50. The installation procedure completes OK. However, after installing I'm prompted to choose a network adapter (both my adapters are recognized), but when choosing either of them, Sniffer shows an error message that says the following:
"Sniffer failed to open the selected adapter.
This may be a result of:
1. Agent connection attemped; cancelled by user.
2. User failed to enter correct password.
3. The agent has reached its limit for the number of Host Connections.
"This may also be caused by one of the following conditions:
1. The adapter driver is installed more than once.
2. The previously selected PCMCIA adapter has been removed.
3. The Token Ring adapter cable may not be connected to a MAU or token ring hub.
Click on OK to select another adapter."
On another thread of this forum, one user got the same message and two people replied telling him that he should put the NIC in promiscuous mode. However, I don't run any Ethernet adapter nor network card. My adapters are the dial-up adapter (for dial-up access) and the DSL modem (USB, for DSL access). I understood that it was the program the one that put the adapter in promiscuous mode, isn't it?
I have used other sniffers before, and all of them have worked OK with both adapters.
Please, could anyone tell me how could avoid this error?
I'm running Win98 SE, and remember that no Ethernet card is installed.
I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks
