Thanks for that.

I only have a router available to test cause the switch doesn't have a free 
port and those are all mission critical.

So can I just connect the problem box to a spare box and run ethereal or 
arpwatch on it? I mean usually can you connect two boxes to each other 
without a hub or switch or router?  Just by using a cat-5 cable?

With kind regards

Andy
