Morning

 

I have installed the Ethereal utility on a Virtual machine on a ESX ver 2.5.1 Server and am trying to capture the HTTP packets.

 

I have also set up the port mirroring on my switch for this Virtual Machine. Unfortunately, Ethereal only seems to capture the HTTP traffic for the Virtual Machine that it is installed on.

 

I did the same thing on another server that is not a ESX Virtual Machine and am able to capture the HTTP traffic.

 

Is there a configuration change that needs to be made for the virtual machine, or is Ethereal not supported on a Virtual machine?

 

Many thanks

Dujean Keegan
