Outbound traffic re-route

[dima237]

Hey!

I'm sort of a newbie in TCP (not my specialty, I'm more of an OO guy), and I'm stuck with a dilema.

I'm using win2000 pro and I have a piece of software (client) that communicates to a server (that I know IP and a port of) and gets plain text back containing some basic information.

I would like to simulate this communication locally. What I want to do is this:
I want to catch all the packets that go either to that IP or that port (or both) and re-route them back locally (loopback). Is this possible to do with either win2000 settings or some sort of a software out there (don't really want to write my own).

Thanks alot.

when u re-route those packets, where exactly do u want them to go..?.. to another machine..?.. to the same machine..?.. u don't say....

and what do u want to do to those packets once they've been redirected... do u want to send them to another destination, do u want to analyse them..

depending on these variables, i could help suggest an appropriate piece of software or hardware, for u to do this..?..

good luck...
