Re: Network Card Promiscuous Mode

[Dhaval Vasa <dhaval () net-square com>]

Windows 2000 includes a Network Monitor agent for use with Network 
Monitor, but XP doesn't include such an agent. However, Microsoft 
included the netcap.exe utility as part of the Support Tools on the XP 
CD-ROM. Netcap is a command-line tool that provides capabilities similar 
to Network Monitor. On the first execution, Netcap installs the Network 
Monitor driver and binds it to all network adapters, which lets the full 
Network Monitor product operate against the machine.
