Hi Chris, "UP BROADCAST RUNNING *PROMISC* MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1" Your ifconfig output does show the interfaces to be running in promiscous mode. The best method forward from here would be to sniff the packets on the interfaces using tools like ethereal and analyse them. regards, Jothis On 10/5/06, Chris U <chris.uyehara at gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Alex, > > In the case you mentioned previously, does ifconfig show the interface in > promisc mode?
