Hi all,
I'm new to the users mailing list and have had limited experience with Ethereal/WireShark. Most of my experience has been with tracing 10/100 mb. ethernet.
I've had a couple of requests to trace a wired gigabit network. I'm using an IBM Thinkpad T42. It's a 1.7 Ghz Pentium M running Windows XP. It has a built in  Intel Pro/1000 MT Mobile Connection  ethernet adapter. Has anyone traced gigabit  ethernet on a laptop? How fast of a machine is required? Any tips you could share with me would be appreciated.

                                                                Thanks
