Hi Michael,

I asked a similar question a few days ago and noone seemed to know.

I have two network cards in my machine, a 3Com and a D-Link 530TX.  My 3Com
shows as bytes and my D-Link shows as packets!

I can only assume it has something to do with the driver for the network
card.

Good luck in finding an answer. :)

Seeya,

...David
