One way is http://www.ethereal.com
careful use of both packet capture filters as well as display filters
and colorized display of the packets make it very nice as a GUI.
The comand line version (comes with Linux source, don't know about
winderz but Ethereal is supported on win32) is called tethereal.
I use both GUI and CLI version all the time on a 450MHz PIII that is
also a functional work station running RedHat 9.0 with no noticeable
load issues but that depends on how you use it and the traffic volume
on the network.
YMMV on windows boxen.
