Good afternoon, ethereal users.  I wish to pose a question about electrical
connection to one's network.  I have a workstation that connects directly
to one port of a switch using a 100baseT ethernet with category 5 cable.  I
have installed ethereal on an I.B.M. Thinkpad.  I wish to simultaneously
monitor transmissions from the switch to the workstation, and from the
workstation to the switch.   How do I attach the Thinkpad?  I believe that
the ethernet is wired for full duplex operation.  If this is a question
that has been asked many times before, it is sufficient to inform me of the
reference that addresses this issue, whether in print, or on the web or on
Usenet.  Many thanks for your help.  Yours truly, Lee_Shackelford at  d o t
