Question Intepret Bytes Recieved over network.

[Cheetah]

Not sure which section this should go in, so move in required.

Basically, I want to be able to type the name of a network connection (one already established by windows) and capture the bytes it receives in my program.

How would i do this?

Thanks.

I think i might be after a "packet sniffer" just to analyse the packets i receive through one of my network connections (bluetooth one specifically - although i don't think it matters).

why reinvent the wheel? Loads of free packet sniffers exist..

If you would rather write your own, you'll have to reference a 3rd party library such as WinPcap.

Turns out that a packet sniffer isn't what i was after - but thanks for responses anyways guys.
