Okey thanks for tcpdump. But got a problem. I cant seem to realy figure out what those lines mean? say these four (4) lines: 08:01:42.131982 IP 192.168.0.71.1054 > mail.parliament.gov.zm.squid: . ack 6755 win 65535 08:01:42.225114 IP 213.155.151.150.http > 192.168.0.183.3011: P 1:334(333) ack 170 win 5840 08:01:42.229863 IP 192.168.0.183.3011 > 213.155.151.150.http: F 170:170(0) ack 334 win 63907 08:01:42.229968 IP 213.155.151.150.http > 192.168.0.183.3011: F 334:334(0) ack 171 win 5840 Okey seen the date part, the IP address then looks like the port on which the connection is listening on is appended to the requesting IP address then the greater than???? confused from that point. Anything i can use to graph this information????
