    I have an client server application that sends XML messages accross a TCP\IP connection. The problem is that we have a new machine that does not recieve any mesages after the initial connection has been made (having checked the ports on both machines, it says the connection is established). Also it is possible for the new box to send messages out, and they are recieved on the listening socket. There is no firewall inplace, so i am abit stuck on where my messages are going. Does anyone know a download for a app that will allow me to listen in on what is being sent/recieved on the ports while the connection is established? Cheers in advance.

      Try TCPVIEW.exe. It's free, and I put a copy on my website for you. TCPVIEW[^]

        If you want to see the actual messages sent then Ethereal[^] will cover your needs and beyond.

              Nice. Ethereal hooks in below the IP-stack which is a good thing in the aspect that it shows what actually leaves the NIC. But it's a bad thing in the aspect that you cannot log connections to localhost, since those packets take a shortcut in the IP-stack. It is, however, the most commonly used tools for network packet analysis.

                This has some Portwatchers: http://www.boran.com/security/sp/toolsdigest/2001/tools20001020.html[^] How about Ethereal or NetStat's GUI from http://www.sysinternals.com/[^]?
