Hi all,


I have an XP Machine, which I would like to sit between my network and
my gateway. It'll have two network cards installed, so that I can sniff
and log all traffic passing through it. Is this easy to do with XP, or
should I be turning to Linux? Any ideas welcome, I haven't been able to
find a paper on this subject.

TIA,
DSt.

You can use ICS, if you wish, which is a software based NAT router that's native
to Windows.
