only difference is he is using a d-link dfe-500tx+ nic which has always
displayed bytes in win2k and winxp, I use to use a d-link dfe-530tx+ nic but
it always displayed packets, now I'm using an intel one and it displays
packets as well...
perhaps the drivers for that specific model promote the use of bytes?
hmmmmm
