The problem is that the VMWare virtual switch gets it right - it really is a switch. So while you will see traffic from other VMs, do read the article in the FAQ on switched networks for the limitations. Also Google "vmware virtual switch promiscuous mode -esx" finds some interesting bits.

The problem was that my NTOP application was running on a virtual machine. Although the virtual linux interface was put into promiscuous mode by NTOP, it could not get the physical interface on the host OS to go into promiscuous mode.

Check the info page, and the status of the interface - make sure it's in promiscuous mode. More info about your configuration can't hurt, can it? - responding minds don't like to guess. ------Burton ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pete Sepulveda Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2007 8:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Ntop] NTOP not capturing TCP My NTOP server is only capturing Broadcast traffic and no TCP. It's on a multi-homed box with the capturing interface plugged into a port that is monitoring another port. I know that I'm overlooking something that should be simple. Has anyone encountered this before? Thanks, Pete Sepulveda, MCP _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [email protected] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop
