Hi,

I've just installed Ethereal and read some basic info. Of course I have 
tried it also.:-)

Actually I needed a tool for only one task: to catch the NXDomain 
requests (non existing domain names) from (part of) Internet, so I 
thought Ethereal must be the best thing.

Now my basic question is can I sniff at all on Internet, as all I can see 
are my two network cards and their traffic.
If so please show me the right direction.
Please note that I have no much understanding of networking, I just
needed the tool.

I have cable connection, Sitecom 4S broadbandrouter with built-in 
4port switch and total of three PC's connected (kids).

Any response would be greatly appreciated.
