View a logfile for TCP/IP ethernet

How can I view a log file of the TCP/IP activity in Windows 98?

Specifically I want to view the DHCP requests that the computer's
ethernet adapter is processing, (similar to viesing the "Status" "Log"
page in a Dlink router.

My Dlink router is showing a "DHCP Request" and then "DHCP Request
Success" every 2 1/2 minutes.

I want to disconnet the Dlink and connect the Windows 98 machine
directly to the DSL modem (which is in bridge mode), and see if the
Windows machine acts the same as the Dlink router (i.e., showing a DHCP
request and sucess every 2 1/2 minutes).

Thanks.

Windows 98 does not log TCP/IP traffic. You'd need to find a software
package that can capture network traffic for analysis, such as Ethereal
(http://www.ethereal.com/) to do this.

You would need some kind of packet sniffer, a excelent example of a
packet sniffer would be ethereal.
