URL Snooper 2 can't find my NIC

[gxdata]

After installing URL Snooper 2 (first time ever) on my Win7 64-bit system, it can't find my wireless NIC (Atheros) - it sees my Intel onboard gigabit Ethernet, but that's not connected to anything.

I can't see how to proceed.

Have you tried to use CooJah instead?

Well, on your indication I just tried, and find the installer is all in Chinese, and 4 times another executable tried to download itself (kk18_9v.exe) - plus a chinese-language webpage popped up.

I'm not impressed, so I killed the installer.

Well the language in the interface is not ideal, but at least it works for me on PCs where URL Snooper rejects to work with specific network cards. Besides it can capture some streams, not only find their URLs.

p.s. At least it is a freeware program

I used Fiddler 2, since initially all I wanted to find was the URL with the manifest.

I may give CooJah a try, later.

What's kk18_9v.exe (6.3Mb), and why did IE9 have 4 instances of it lined up to be downloaded (IE9 has a built-in downloader, with resume and user intervention)? That was an alarming side-effect of downloading Coojah, plus the separate couple of Chinese-language popups.

Coojah: Maybe I should have downloaded the (smaller) ZIP file instead of the full installer (which is 8.7Mb)?

Well, a work-around was to use a Windows XP machine on the same network. It has an identical TP-Link wireless network card to the one in the Win7-64 machine, but URL Snooper 2 recognizes it as TP-Link on the Windows XP machine I used.

On the Windows 7 machine, it appears as an Atheros device to Windows and other utilities like SIW, but URL Snooper 2 doesn't even see it.

I will take the info from the settings.ini file on the XP machine and fiddle with its corresponding file on Win7, and see if I have any luck (just out of interest).

URL Snooper 2 on Windows XP works well - less complexity than Fiddler, etc.

In my quest for a solution for the URL Snooper in combination with wifi, I found that the following solution works:

1. start up URLSnooper; it (still) won't find your wireless NIC.

2. next, start up MediaSniffer; you'll get all the media-url's you 'll need.

MediaSniffer doen't work on it's own either, but seems to get fully enabled when URLSnooper is running.

Can MediaSniffer find URLs that use protocols other than HTTP?

Since you used Fiddler 2,I would suppose you would want to find only HTTP URL.If that's true,BitAnalyzer is all you need,it's lightweight,free and very simple to use,plus it can also find MMS,RTSP URL,too bad it doesn't capture packets like URL Snooper does so you can also find some RTMP stuff with it.

I haven't test it on win7,but you can give it a try.

Thanks for the suggestions. Meanwhile, apart from Fiddler, I used StreamTransport which is useful.
