Not bad.

Well, a TCP/IP connection relate to a URL ... but the web server does
track a referrer.

You could sniff the HTTP (port 80) traffic to see what the referrer
header indicates.

If you are using Firefox, there is an extension that will show you what
headers are being sent across the wire.  You can find information at
http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/.
