Also, how do I use a packet sniffer? How do I get the 'ethernet address'? |

| Ethereal is a popular open source packet sniffer for Windows. The ethernet address (aka MAC or NIC address) will appear in every packet that it tracks. A user's guide is available to give you guidance on using it. |

| All ethereal is going to do is give you a capability to capture the packets; you still have to enable it and I believe what that involves is described (in excuciating detail) in the accompanying documentation.
Mind, I've never done this myself, so yes I'm talking off the top of me head.  -- Regards, Joseph V. Morris |
