RE: Remote ethereal?

You can span or mirror that port on the switch and capture all the
inbound and outbound data arriving at that port,  without putting a CPU
load on the target machine.

	Subject: [Ethereal-users] Remote ethereal?
	
	
	Hello,
	
	I'm using ethereal on a system in order to trace a software
malfunction.  However, ethereal significantly slows down the computer as
it captures during the software's functions.  Otherwise though, it
captures the needed data to find the problem.  Is there any way to
either run ethereal on a remote machine on the same switch and capture
the same data, or to make ethereal run in a less resource-intensive
mode? 
	
	Thanks,
	Andrew
