We have the software running on an XP box. Is there anyway for Ethereal to be set to auto scan? I have it already starting up automatically by adding it into my Start up Folder but that just executes the program, we need for it to begin scanning in the event the remote system has power cycled. Any feedback would be extremely appreciated.

What do you mean by "in the event the remote system has power cycled"?

Please note, that Ethereal isn't the best tool for long term capturing, as it will consume increasing amount of memory and will crash if it's running out of it (see http://wiki.ethereal.com/KnownBugs/OutOfMemory).
