how does a hub between client and switch help you sniff?? Presumeably, you would still only see the traffic sent out the switch port for MAC addresses on the hub??? -----Original Message----- From: Mark Lee [mailto:marklee15@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 22 January 2004 09:35 To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: Sniffing Yeah, we also use this setup to allow us to sniff our firewall from time to time - works great !

Unless you're using a promiscous port on the switch you'll only see traffic for that segment. If you have a quality switch, you should be able to configure this, otherwise you'll hav e to use some sort of arp poisoning (which will cause serious network slowdown, be careful). -- Chris Berry chris_berry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Systems Administrator JM Associates & Coast Business Service "Some days you fix the multi-million dollar machine, other days the $12 stapler kicks your ass." ******************************************************** This Weeks Sponsor StressedPuppy.com Games Feeling stressed out?
