"Its free, but I think there are better alternatives."

CableguyTK February 02, 2006 / Version: Ethereal - Network Protocol Analyzer 0.10.14

2006-02-02 11:26:56 | By CableguyTK

Pros

Its free.

Associated with a good name...AirSnare includes Ethereal in its installer here on Download.com.

Cons

The program is using the same code base as GAIM, gtk, and it looks it. Requires a LOT of files to be installed for use, just because of the nature of the code.

You aren't getting the nice XP look and feel that you would get with other free Packet Sniffers such as WhatIsTranferring? and EtherSnoop.
