Well, I red the FAQ about

    Q 3.6: I can't see any TCP packets other than packets to and from my
machine, even though another sniffer on the network
    sees those packets.

And the answer was less than helpful.  It alluded to certain OSes might
noiw allow this mode or my card doesn't support it.
Well, it would be nice if it included a list of those OSes  and/or a way
to force promiscuous mode in certain standard cards like 3com etherlink
XL or Intel cards.
Could you possibly help or point me in the right direction......
Thanks in advance
Jim

If a buttered slice of bread always lands buttered side down, and
 a cat always lands on its feet, what would happen if you dropped a
 cat with a slice of buttered bread tied to its back?
