Possibly, but all it really means is that there'd be an unconfigured NIC on the wire. There could be any number of those, for various reasons... Plus, if this were someone who were serious about sniffing, and not getting caught, they could cut their send pin off the card, and you'd never see their MAC. What's the point? The point is detecting sniffers is not impossible, but it's far from reliable. - -- Derek Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] - --------------------------------------------- I prefer mail encrypted with PGP/GPG!
