Ethereal

Often, a network sniff with Ethereal will be helpful in tracking down problems. The sniffer software is free, and is available at http://www.ethereal.com

The usual approach:

  1. Shutdown the remote device/computer
  2. Shutdown Media Center
  3. Turn off any sources of unneeded network traffic (e-mail clients, for example)
  4. Start Ethereal
  5. Start Media Center
  6. Start the remote device/computer
  7. Reproduce the problem
  8. Stop Ethereal sniffing
  9. Save the file, and make it available to J. River
