My first thought is to let tcpdump run for a while, redirected to a file, and then grep the file for the IP address of each machine. There is also a firefox extension that I've found really useful called live http headers that shows the headers from each machine requesting access to a web page. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3829 -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
