RE: Promiscuous mode?

Are these three hosts plugged into a hub or a switch?  If they are
plugged into a switch, is the Snort sensor's switch port set to monitor
the others?

Hi all.
Here is my problem: I have installed Snort+MySQL+Acid under Windows 2000
Server. No problem on the installation. I have removed all the rules and
created just 2 rules (in my local.rules file) to test only pings between
3 PCs: Snort is on xx.x.x.a, and the others are xx.x.x.b and xx.x.x.c).
Snort logs xx.x.x.a <> xx.x.x.b (or c) but not xx.x.x.b <> xx.x.x.c . In
fact, with all the rules, I can see that snort just log the traffic if
the sensor is the source or the destination... Is this a problem with my
interface? (not in promiscuous mode?) I don't know how configure that...
Who can help me? Thanks in advance.
