Sniffing my ip

is there a way I can look at all the information going through my network card, and on what port ect?

You shouldn't make your own program for this since there's a much simpler way and a way better program already made by some one else. Try to find Iris , it captures all packets going through your adapter. If you can't find it just email me at [email protected]

I know but I want it to do some stuff also, like stuff I add ect. I would of used one of those but, i just need the concept, not the program. Or in other words, how to do it.

By using the winsock control you should be able to get your IP address and network port, but I don't know how far it can go with network items

so i just use the winsock control and tell it to scan the ports or something like that, and would i just use something like the data arive operation and look at the data? But my problem is what if i did that, and I used winsock to look at port 80, and would microsoft internet explorer still get the information comeing in on port 80? or would i intercept it?
