ahhh... so the roo installation just analyzes and logs the activity, i need to set up another machine which has all the services on it and is actually the 'honeypot'?

Ok, you need a bridge between eth0 and eth1.
And need configure the cards to have something like this :

                ___________________
honeynet <-->  | (eth1)---- (eth0) | <--> Internet
               |      eth2         |
               ---------------------
                       Admin

it's like firewall for the honeynet.

The bridge acts to examine and pass packets from honeynet to Internet.

im using the roo installation from www.honeynet.org and am having trouble understanding how the NIC cards are supposed to be set up. they say
* eth0 is the "Internet" or outside Interface
* eth1 is the LAN interface (Honeypot side)
* eth2 is the Management interface
* br0 is the virtual bridge interface (eth0 + eth1)

but i dont completly understand what that means.  is eth0 where the incoming connection comes, then eth1 is where the 
outbound packets are sent? also, do i need to set up a gateway before the honeypot? or can i user a router? im just 
really confused about how the physical networking is supposed to be done.  could someone give me some help?  thanks in 
advance
