Can I view Internet packets?

Looking for shareware/freeware that will display the incoming packets for my
network adapter.

For example, if you display Network Connections (from the Control Panel) and
right-click Local Area Connection you can select STATUS from the menu.

This will display received packets in the Activity section.

What I am looking for is software that will display these packets in ASCII
format.
