hi all!

does anybody has allready tried to capture packages sent between mac os x and a guest system running under parallels?

parallels creates an interface:

en2: flags=8963<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

	inet6 fe80::21c:42ff:fe00:8%en2 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x7
	inet 10.211.55.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.211.55.255
	ether 00:1c:42:00:00:08
	media: autoselect status: active
	supported media: autoselect

and the guest system has the ip-address 10.211.55.4

so i thought i should be able to capture packages sent between the systems by capturing en2 but wireshark doesn't see any packages. does anybody has an idea how i could capture them (parallels runs under mac os x)?

thanks in advance
