    Hello

    Ethereal will help me to see packet details enterine the PC, not the packets entering the nios board.I want to see the packets entering the nios board by using the functions and data structures provided by nios development kit.

    I am not getting any idea of which driver to initialize and which structure variables to access, so that i get information of the source address, dest address,port numbers of the packet

    You have given no information on what your hardware setup is other than you are using an evaluation kit; ie: are you using an OS such as uClinux, are you using a standalone tcp/ip stack, or do you not even have either of those... before you can look at what packets are coming in, you need to have communication working successfully. So this means either booting uClinux, implementing a tcp/ip stack such as lwip, or writing your own code. There is no "driver that you can initialize", it&#39;s not that simple.
