UrlSnooper / Re: Sniffing, but can't smell

« on: December 15, 2006, 09:14 AM »

Hmmm, this is the first 'problem' I've had with it and I'm a pretty aggressive user (home network, multiple routers, soundbridge, games, VOIP, etc.)  It was a little bit of a pain the first time I tried to set up windows file sharing, but since then everything has worked fine.  I suppose that if this was a program I planned to use frequently I would feel differently, but an overactive firewall is fine by me.

It is the Nvidia Firewall that come with my motherboard.  To me, the really weird thing is that the firewall blocks some traffic but not all.  If you have any suggestions as to any tweaks I can make to my firewall settings, that would be great.  Otherwise, I'll just turn off the firewall when I need to use the snooper.

I used the sniffer using my laptop and it worked fine.  So, I tried again on the desktop and once I killed the firewall it worked fine.  Funny that the firewall allowed it to see some traffic, but not all.  This is the Nvidia firewall that came with my motherboard.

Ok, it found a second URL:

https://www.donation...x.php?topic=6356.new

edit:
here's a third URL it found
http://www.rulesforuse.org
I have no idea where this one is from.  I'm posting these in case there is some sort of trend you might be able to pick up on.  I've had the snooper open all day, and it has received 7000 packets and sniffed 3 URLs.  I've had my browser open the entire time (with multiple tabs open) and have been surfing occasionally throughout the day.

Yes, the number of packets does go up.  It clicks up by about four packets when I reload cspan and about 20 when I reload CNN.  Since I started looking at this thread this morning, (about an hour ago, but check the time stamps) it has seen 642 packets.

I don't think the firewall is the problem.  When I first ran the program the firewall asked for permission for the program to go through, and I gave it.  Also, if the firewall was blocking it, I don't think the manual scan would work.

This is the only URL it seems able to sniff.  FH is a gaming clan I'm in, and it seems to be picking up some sort of communication between the website and the gaming server.  It found this URL twice last night and once this morning.

The network adaptor is
"NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Adaptor Driver (Microsoft's Packet Scheduler)"

It is the integrated network adapter on my Abit AN8sli motherboard.

I went through the steps you describe, and still nothing.  When I put cspan in the manual scan box it works fine, though.  What should I try now?

I forgot to mention I'm using XPsp2.

UrlSnooper / Sniffing, but can't smell

« on: December 03, 2006, 12:59 AM »

I posted on the ROKU forums that the sniffer was not working for me, and it was suggested that I try URL snooper and post here if that didn't work.  It didn't and here I am.  Any help would be appreciated.  http://www.rokulabs....ic.php?p=62481#62481

Neither snooper was able to pick up my network card, and the roku version couldn't find my soundbridge.  I had to input both by hand.  When I start sniffing, it does see packets, but does not detect URLs.  I tried positive controls such as somafm.com and club977. When I set the "protocal filter" to "show all" it picked up two urls off a website I had open, but I was not actively looking at the window at the time.

I'm using an Abit mobo with the integrated Nvidia network adaptor and Nvidia firewall (I gave permission for the sniffers to get through).  I'm behind a pair of linksys routers on a cable connection.  What other info would help?
