I do have an older hub, but not sure what you mean here. The hub has no network address and of course is not switched so anything going thru it can be filtered with tcpdump. But the router is switched. Not sure how a hub would see the outfacing address. I'd be able to see all the lan machines that were going thru it, but how about the traffic that the firewall is rejecting? Thats what I'm after. Can you elaborate a little? Maybe you mean something different by `hub'. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
