James R. recently posted this in another thread...

I thought about that being an issue so I ran a network trace to see what was getting sent out. Turns out that network issues are not the problem.

I see a request going out to 74.220.219.77 from my system (I also see my password being sent in clear text, but that's another post!!) and there is a successful response. However, the xml response data is essentially empty. There is one field with data:
<flightStatus>2</flightStatus>
and all other fields are empty.

So I've connected to the system, but it is unable to either find my data or my user information. This is some pretty deep stuff. Who maintains this system? Am I really the only person having issues?? Could my account be in some strange status? Locked out or something?


I have had to learn some basics of modem/router use lately and although most of it is still Greek to me, some of you might understand Greek. :wink:

If anyone can point me to where I can learn about what James is talking about above, I would appreciate it. I might be at a point where I can build on what I know and figure this out, which would be useful.

I'm thinking there might be some key words that I should know so I can start googling. Maybe I'll start with "network trace" and "router" or something like that.

You need networking tools to do this, here's one:

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Network-To ... race.shtml

Quote:
York Network Trace logs source, destination and packet size of all network traffic on your network, of course also outbound traffic.

Here are some key features of "York Network Trace":

· Log source, destination [fqdn or ip address] and packet size of all network traffic on your network, of course also outbound traffic. The network card will be set into promiscuous mode.

· Save sniffed HTTP and FTP files. Just for fun, pictures are shown in a slideshow and in a screensaver like window.

· Sniff for HTTP, FTP, POP3, SMTP, SMB, VNC and AIM password/hash and HTTP cookies like 'GX'.

· Select a client and follow his clicks in your browser.
· Screensaver included. Shows sniffed pictures in a slideshow.

For advanced user:
· You can capture traffic into a pcap file, send a pcap file and replay a pcap file.

For advanced user:
· You can restrict captured traffic by tcpdump filters.



Maybe you have extra admin tools in Win7, I haven't seen anything in Win XP yet.


There's a whole bunch there:

That's what I did and the 4th one down looked like a decent place to start. :)
