RE: W2K server "sniffer"

Network Monitor will give you ability to sniff packets coming into the Windows 2000 Server. It is not installed by default, but if you go to Control Panel --> Add/Remove Programs --> Add/Remove Windows Components --> Management and Monitoring Tools, you can install Network Monitor Tools. After doing so, you can access Network Monitor from Administrative Tools. I prefer Ethereal myself, but Network Monitor can be effective if you just want to look at traffic coming into your interface. Running Ethereal under Windows is not initially intuitive; whereas Network Monitor in Windows 2000 Server is a bit more intuitive to use.... I think, initially anyway.

Is there a mechanism in W2K Server that allows packet sniffing type of activity?
