Re: [gentoo-user] How to see network activity?

[Boris Sobolev <immunogene@gmail.com>]

I' m not sure if I need packet analyzer or another tool.
I can see network activity on my dsl modem led. Right
before I switched to Gentoo, my windows box has
died for a couple of days ( it had no firewall).
It was bunch of viruses, worms and god knows what
else. When I turned firewall, it blocked endless probes.
I suspect the same thing hapening now. Aside from
I need a firewall ( and I deliberatly do not install one,) 
how can I track an activities that generate that traffic?

Thanks. Boris
