Hi Vinicius, In-order to sniff on a network, you obviously need to be connected to that network. Promisious mode concept comes after you are connected to the network. Also, you need to keep in mind, that sniffing on a switched network is not as straight forward as on Hub network. You need to do something extra like ARP cache poisioning in-order to sniff on switched network, else you'll land up sniffing your own data on given network. All the best! --- Nikhil Wagholikar On 2 July 2010 08:14, Vinicius Menezes <cotomax () yahoo com> wrote:
