Maybe one of the forum-moderators or admins can check if the ip you posted from is the same as the one you offer. Because it's kind of lame of you to think we would attack that ip and beleive it's yours without some verification.

if it's a managed switch most of them have an option to set a port as "monitor port" at least i can do thet with my hp procurve switch. You can set the ports that you want to monitor the traffic going through and then the switch will also send that traffic of those ports to your monitor port so you can sniff it.

Thanks, I'll take a look at your suggestions and see what fits me best.

My main computer is my Powerbook with Mac OS 10.4 and I maintain 2 debian servers.

I'm looking for a good statistics program for monitoring my server to keep an eye on the bandwidth, cpu load, memory usage,... Any suggestions are welcome.
