Has anyone found a packet analyzer for os x, preferably free. I know that there is an ethereal port out there, but I am looking for something that is native.
 
(yes, I did read your post!) :)

Ethereal really is the best one for OS X and its free. I've played with some other ones, but they didn't do nearly as much as easily.
 
Hmm, tcpflow is pretty good for being just a plain console app. I can't remember if you can get it from fink, or if you have to compile it yourself. If you use the "-c" option it spits data out to your terminal rather than logging to a file, and thus comes in quite handy if you need to quickly debug a network application.

If you need to do anything really heavy-duty, then just install ethereal via fink. Make sure you've got Apple's X11 installed first.
 
You can also find it in the OpenDarwin ports. Using tcpdump by itself might be another option for you.

What are the steps involved in setting up ethereal to run on my iBook, it is a stock install nothing on it?

thanks
