...guess I got my work cut out for me. Just took Beagle.BD off one of the service dept's computer.

Don't know snort though I put it on my W2K laptop (Windows-port). I've run ethereal from the same laptop a time or two though I'm on the learning curve there still.

Could I run Knoppix STD live linux cd off one of the workstations? I've used a numver of the live-cd's out there: Insert, Knoppix. Knoppix-STD. Can't say I'm too familiar with snort, but I'm a fast learner typically. Any good tutorials out there? I know the networking company we use is a Windows shop, the one guy I've talked to is useless on linux.

What a great forum...
