What would be the best way the monitor the traffic send to and from Messenger?
I don't want to use a Proxy, so i would have to use a packet sniffer wouldn't I?
Any ideas would be great.

Yeah... for example, with Ethereal you can apply a filter that restricts recorded packets to ones using the msn protocol.

then you's need to be able to capture packets in VB. i don't know if it can be done, or how.

Perhaps have a look at this: http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/Show...eId=46567&lngWId=1
I just found it in a google search... I imagine you could use it's main functional code to create an msn packet sniffer

i'm fairly sure its possible, but i was just wondering if that was the only way, or if there are some alternates
