Hi,

I downloaded the last Ethereal for NT and installed on my NT 4.0 (SP6) 
computer with the WinPcap packet driver. It�s the best and fastest NT 
analyzer, better that �Analyzer� tool.

But the problem is that I monitor only the packets intended for my computer 
MAC address (except BROADCAST and MULTICAST packets). I don�t know if there 
are active hubs (it could be a possibility). 3COM are telling (on the web 
site) that my NIC should support the PROMISCOUS mode.

I believe that on NT, the PROMISCOUS mode couldn�t be set as easy as in UNIX 
with the "ifconfig eth0 promisc�). Meanwhile, I found some basic analysing 
programs that turn on the PROMISCOUS mode on Windows. I will send you these 
programs.

* Does Ethereal for NT support PROMISCOUS mode?

* Are there a way to control if the NIC is in PROMISCOUS mode (3COM provides 
no GUI configuration panel for the NIC)

Please answer me.


Best regards,
Vlad
