[placebo]

i have installed NetXFer latest version on a clean WindowsXP-sp3 system. And i have tried both the classic version and the standard version.

I can start the software. But when i go to URL sniffer tab and click on "Start" i get some error message. (I've got 2 network cards installed: 1 standard (for cable internet), and 1 WLAN)

I have read and followed instructions of the help file, etc. -- Still, the problem persists.

i've sent them an email.. but havent heard back yet.
Since i am on clean system, i must assume that this is a bug in the NetXfer software.

I dont need the software. It's for testing purposes only.

I had the same problem. I had to use the wired network, wireless won't do it, I also went into the device manager for my network card and changed IPV4 checksum offload; TCP checksum offload (IPV4); and UDP checksum offload (IPV4) all to disabled. Then run NetXFer as an administrator (vista/win7)

It then allows you to start sniffing.

[placebo]

yeah i kinda know that it works with cable internet (I once had a working version of NetTransport on my system.). but if NXF doesnt care to support my WLAN, then i certainly dont care to trial or buy it.

WLAN is a standard in many situations (home, work, mobile, beach).

My purchased copy of HiDownload works very well with WLAN. And both programs are based on the same sniffing technology: WINPCAP.

No thanks to NXF then!!
I have just saved another 20 bucks!!!

I disabled
- IPV4 checksum offload;
- UDP (IPV4) checksum offload;
- TCP (IPV4) checksum offload;
Then ran NetTransport as an admin, but still a no go
