If have just rebuild my laptop and re-installed Ethereal v0.99. Everything
seemed to be fine when I was capturing the network traffic to and from the
laptop, example when capturing a ping (default 4 requests):
I would capture the following 8 packets in the flow:
1. Laptop - ICMP Request
2. Destination - ICMP Reply
3. Laptop - ICMP Request
4. Destination - ICMP Reply
5. Laptop - ICMP Request
6. Destination - ICMP Reply
7. Laptop - ICMP Request
8. Destination - ICMP Reply
However when I setup port mirroring and capture a ping from Host A to Host
B...I only capture the source Host traffic ... in this case only the ICMP
Requests.
Example:
Host A - ICMP Request
Host A - ICMP Request
Host A - ICMP Request
Host A - ICMP Request
The replies from Host B are not captured. I know its not an issue with the
switch or the port mirroring because I can connect another PC with Ethereal
re-run the same test and capture all 8 packets.
I have also tried to install version 0.10.14 but also received the same
issue. I have also played around with different Intel NIC driver versions
but no luck as of yet.
Also this is not an issue with only ICMP traffic, if I were to capture a FTP
session I would see the same results - only source traffic.
Here are the details of my setup:
Dell Latitude - D505
OS - Win XP SP2
NIC - Intel Pro/100 VE
NIC Driver - 8.0.27.0 (1/12/2006)
Any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it...
Thanks In advance
