Hey Chris, or anyone else who wants to answer...Does the Linksys 4
port router (I use one) permit some kind of port-monitor? Some
router/ switch manufacturers might use a different name for it...but,
what I'm asking is: how do u setup Etherreal to "bridge" the port you
want to monitor? I remember one of the Nortel switches allowed you to
specify what port you want to monitor, and all traffic on that port in
both directions [I think] got fwd'd to your port (that PC is connected
to).
