OK... I'll leave the XP thing al0wned. As to the linux solution, why would you bother with VNC rather than just ssh. Pull the libpcap file back to a local desktop for analysis in ethereal. Owen --On Wednesday, September 3, 2003 11:26 AM -0700 Luke Starrett <lstarrett@nc.rr.com> wrote:
I took a different approach and run a Windows XP machine with multiple network cards to the segments that I regularly need to sniff. I use the remote desktop feature to access the box. It has one NIC for regular connectivity, and a couple others that are just used for sniffing. Others are using cheap linux boxes running ethereal in a similar fashion using VNC to access the box.

Anyone have any experience with these? I'm looking for something similar to Network Associates Sniffer product.
Are there any open source projects that are decent? What are others using?
