I downloaded CommView and I am not sure what this means:

Maximum packets in buffer – sets the maximum number of packets the program stores in the memory and can display in the packet list (2nd tab). For example, if you set this value to 3000, only the last 3000 packets will be stored in the memory and packet list. The higher this value is, the more computer resources the program consumes.

What is a packet?

Also I tried installing the Driver for Dial ups and it syas it is not compatible with WAN Miniport (IPX) <which is what I have it on my computer …. What will happen if I change it?

Does anyone know how to use this and can explain it someone who knows nothing about the deeper aspects of computers?

Thank you in advance! Very much!
