Hello. Does anyone know of a way or tool that can tell you if the data/info
being sent over the network is being encrypted to a SQL Server 2000 on a
Win2K? My certificate expired and just wanted to know if I need to install
a new certificate or not.

Thanks in advance.

J,

Try http://www.ethereal.com/ it is free.

What type of cert is this? Is it a web cert on port 443? If so then your
connection is still secure. However, your browswer will display a 'pop up'
that says the cert is expired.

Hope that helps!

Thanks Carlos for your reply and speediness. I appreciate it.

Well, I have some Access databases on our network that have linked tables to
our SQL2K machine and also have a web server running some .asp pages that
sends data to the same SQL2K machine and was wondering if the data traveling
across the network was encrypted since I have the 'Force protocol
encryption' turned on through the Server Network Utility the certificate
that I had installed onto our SQL machine but the certificate has expired
and haven't gotten any error messages or any users complaining about their
data entry.
