Subject: Capturing LAN Traffic ..

Here's the set-up:

Wireless Home Network
- Linksys WAP

• Windows 98 (x2), Windows ME, Windows 2000 Professional, hardware/software based web server

Now, here's the question:

Does anyone know of any free (or at least cheap) software out there that will allow us to monitor
connection attempts as well as traffic contents on ALL of the interfaces within the wireless
network from one or two central locations? Sort of like a firewall / sniffer combination.

If anyone has any input, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
