Read the packets as they come into the computer?

[hellswraith]

Does anyone know how I can read data packets as they are entering my computer using VB? I basically want to log all packet information and data as it comes from a certain IP address. I need code or a control or a object.....whatever, as long as I can access it with VB.

Is the packet coming in on the Comm Port or a network card?

I think he means through the network card, or a modem. I don't think there is a way to do this with VB, but people have done it before with C++.

I am just looking for a COM object or something. I was hoping that someone that did it in C++ created a COM object that would allow me to get the information into VB. If they did it with VB code, that would even be better, but highly unlikely.

Hopefully someone can come through on this.

And yes, MidgetsBro is correct, I want to get Internet traffic, either through a NIC or Modem.
