Hi all,

 Recently i saw a sniffer program which while installing asked for IE 5.0. 
Once IE5.0 is installed, it stared sniffing. Till now i was under the 
impression that we need to do something with the hardware for sniffing. But 
is it possible to put the system in to promiscous mode programatically and 
what role IE5.0 plays in it...

regards
satya
