Title: I am facing some problems when monitoring the traffic on the segment.

Dear Friends,

Does the problem I am facing below related to the fact that all the servers are connected to a switch not a hub ?! So the only way left for me is to monitor the traffics coming or leaving from the switch port only.

Thanks again

Dear Friends.
I just finished installing the ethereal lanalyzer on HP L2000 Server , its host name is "liberty" to monitor the traffic in the segment where I have the servers.

Below you can see the output of swlist:
ethereal                      0.8.16         ethereal      
  gato                          0.6.6          gato          
  glib                          1.2.9          glib          
  gtk+                          1.2.9          gtk+          
  gtkdiskfree                   1.6.5          gtkdiskfree   
  libpcap                       0.6.2          libpcap       
  snmp                          1.14           snmp          
  zlib                          1.1.3          zlib          

The ethereal software is installed on host name liberty with ip address 192.168.200.14 and we need to monitor the telnet on the  23 tcp port in host mcfn with ip address 192.168.200.2 on the same segment from the NCD terminal connected on the same segment , due to our  need to check the users and the commands they are using during their daily work.

I appreciate providing me with the sufficient information so we can use these information for securing our system. Because Now I am able to check the traffic is receiving to or from the interface of my HP Server.but to monitor the data and traffic for any host on the segment still I can't make it work.

Thanks to your support.
