Hello, I was wondering if there was a way I could pass my internet connection threw a linux box, probably Redhat or Fedora. I have multi clients internaly with internal Class C IP's. I would like to put the linux box between my router, and my clients, to enable me to run etherape/ethereal. I have two NIC's in the box, and my router is also a DHCP Server. Is this possable to do? Thanks for your time.

you can setup the computer as a proxy server.

if you want a quick way to view traffic on the switch, enable ipforwarding, and use arpspoof.
do some searching if you want to learn about them.
i'm sorry i don't have time to type up arp poisoning tutorial. besides, if i use tools, i like to know a little about how they work

Hey, Thanks man, I have no problem with reading, I was just comming up short handed.

You could have one network from the NAT router to a hub, the sniffer/monitor box plugged into the hub, a cable from the hub to a switch that connects to the rest of the network.

If you want the traffic to pass from one NIC to the other in the linux box then you can either a) get it to act as a bridge or b) put the NAT router and the interface it is connected to in a different subnet to everything else, run a dhcp server on the LAN interface that points the clients default gateway to that interfaces ip and enable ip forwarding

or c) use the linux box as a NAT+dhcp server or d)use a proxy and configure all the machines to use it.

I'd use a hub or option b
