I've spent over 8 hours researching and trying and RTFM'ing ... I had my network admin mirror a port on our cisco switch. When I sniff the port all I get is the broadcast messages or local traffic

 

I have read

http://www.ethereal.com/faq.html#q5.1

 over and over ... I have manually (ifconfig ...) put the interfaces into promiscuous mode.

 

What next to trouble shoot?

 

Thanks in advance
