If you want to see traffic, this will do it. It captures very quickly, no hiccups, free, small, works. Need I say more?

I used CommView and Ethereal/Wireshark, but their complicated interfaces and options always confused me and slowed me down. SmartSniff doesn't provide all the advanced features of those heavyweights, but it is vastly easier to use if you simply want to check what a certain program is doing. I rate the interface only "Good" because the display and capture filters require you to manually type strings into a text box--an inconvenient and error-prone way of doing things.
