Press Release

AG Group, Inc. Releases EtherPeek v.4.0.2

Windows Version Delivers Enhanced Error Packet Capture Performance with New Digital Drivers

WALNUT CREEK, California - June 21, 2000

AG Group, Inc., a leading provider of accessible, affordable, high-performance tools that deliver real-time, strategic information about an organization's network and Internet presence, today released version 4.0.2 of EtherPeek for Windows, TokenPeek for Windows and EtherPeek for Macintosh.

In addition to interface and functional enhancements, the latest version of EtherPeek for Windows features new, enhanced capture drivers that provide the ability to display and filter error packets when used with a compatible PCI or CardBus 10/100 NIC. Version 4.0.2 with Digital drivers captures full error packet contents and exposes the core data information. The captured error packets display the source, destination, and a higher level of aggregate packet data to help users pinpoint networking problems.

"With earlier versions of EtherPeek, we provided standard NDIS packet capture drivers, which limited the program to displaying error statistics only, or NE2000-compatible drivers, which could provide full error packet capture, filtering and display, but with a very limited number of adapters and only after an often problematic installation procedure" states Janice Spampinato, VP of Sales and Marketing. " The release of version 4.0.2 offers easy installation of enhanced error packet capture drivers, providing more complete performance of our LAN analyzer on both desktop and laptop platforms."
