    If that doesn't work, then download winlibpcap and ethereal, install, but on
    hub with computer or switch span port
    start ethereal
    say 'start filtering' and use the filter string 'src host MY_IP or dst host
    MY_IP' without apostrophe and replacing MY_IP with the IP address of the
    machine
    should have everything done in 30 minutes

    the advantage of this approach is that you can save the network traffic. if
    this thing escalates into an administrative action (firing, discipline,
    etc.) you want to have that stuff recorded, and you want a second person who
    can testify that person x was using ip y during the illegal movements.

    Easiest way to do this is to open a prompt on the box and simply
    type "netstat -a" if theres someone connected to the box it should point
    you right to their IP address.
