Does network monitor allow you to look inside of packets on the network?

Yes, a network monitor program is designed to show you all of the parts of a network packet.
Even your visited websites, chat messages or emails content. I saw a product name "WFilter" can do that.

What is part of a series of filters that examine the contents of packets and traffic patterns to and from the network to determine which packets they should allow to pass through?
This is known as "stateful" filtering - When firewalls are aware of the traffic state as well as the content of the packets.
If you are on an internet network can you be watched?
It is possible to "sniff" packets off any network - this could potentially allow a hacker to read communications over the network. Generally, using a secure connection (HTTPS) will prevent packet-sniffing, however.
What is stateful inspection firewalls?
Stateful inspection firewalls monitor the state of active connections and use this information to determine which network packets to allow through the firewall. This is in contrast to static packet filtering where only the headers of packets are checked. Attackers can exploit this property of static filters to sometimes get information through the firewall by doing something like indicating "reply" in the header. Stateful inspection, on the other hand, analyzes packets all the way down to the application layer of the OSI model. Stateful inspection can monitor communications packets over a period of time and examine both incoming and outgoing packets. Outgoing packets that request specific types of incoming packets are tracked and only incoming packets that are proper responses are allowed through the firewall. In a firewall that uses stateful inspection, the network administrator can set the parameters to meet specific needs, for example ports can be closed unless an incoming packet requests connection to a specific port and then only that port is opened. This practice prevents port scanning, a well-known hacking technique.
What are the advantages of Router?
Routers allow data packets to travel faster on a computer network. This is by determining the shortest and best route between the sending and receiving nodes.
Why is fast convergence desirable in networks that use dynamic routing protocols?
Routers may make incorrect forwarding decisions until the network is converged.
What type of services does Network Managed Services offer its patrons?
Network Managed Services, from CenturyLink, allow customers to have CenturyLink monitor their networks and prevent downtime. Network Managed Services offer a complete networking monitoring service to allow companies to direct their resources elsewhere.
What is the purpose of Performance Monitor?
The purpose of network performance monitoring is to allow network administrators to create the best operating condition by reporting on the network activity and locating where the network is not operating to it's full potential. Network Performance Monitoring can find faulty routers and switches as well as identifying networks that are hogging the bandwidth.
What are agp card and lan cards?
An AGP card is a graphics or display card and will allow output to a monitor. A LAN card is a Network Interface Card which allows a computer to communicate over a network, either wired or wireless.
What is attached inside the computer so that it can participate in the network?
A Network Interface Card (NIC) is a hardware device that handles an interface to a computer network and allows a network-capable device to access that network. It is a computer hardware component designed to allow computers to communicate over a computer network.
How does a CAN bus function exactly?
CAN (controller area network) bus, is a vehicle bus (specialized internal communications network that interconnects components inside a vehicle) that allow devices and micro controllers to communicate inside a vehicle without a host computer.
Can you hook up a laptop top case to a monitor?
Yes you can, just use a VGA cable and that will typically allow you to connect a laptop to a monitor. Once you connect the monitor, you need to go to your properties and allow the monitor extend the screen.
Which type of firewall technique can be used to allow inbound traffic from the public network only if it was initiated from the internal network?
If the PC from the inside network initiated the connection, then it should be allowed automatically. Firewalls by default allow connections from the inside to complete. Firewalls can block SYN requests from the outside, but in this case, the SYN packet came from the inside - the response would be an ACK to establish the handshake. If you are not getting a response from the outside when trying to connect, perhaps the destination firewall is blocking your attempt.
