Wireshark · Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] Ethereal Tutotial Follow-on

[Anthony Abby <anthonyabby@xxxxxxxxx>]

a kind individual from this list has answered some of
my questions but suggested I bring this one back to
the list.  

I had no problem installing Ethereal.  Installed all
the RPM files from the Ethereal FTP server on my
Redhat 7 linux box, started it, and then started
running some tests on my network.

I can see lots of ARP, BROWSER, and DNS packets being
captured off the line, but I do not see any packets
being capture related to http/smtp/pop unless I am
making the http/smtp/pop requests directly on the
linux box.  If I jump on my NT4 workstation (which I'm
on now) and try to browse to any website I do not see
those packets being captured by the Linux box with
Ethereal running.  That was the reason I had posted my
Etheral tutorial request.

When I started the packet sniffing I had selected to
capture in promiscuous mode and didn't receive an
error, although I'm not sure I would or not if my NIC
will not support promiscuous mode.
