So I've found a few links and pages with information on how to make a Receive-Only Ethernet cable. I followed instructions listed on one page that said to bond wire 1 and 3 together and wire 2 and 6 together on one end, and remove the rest of lengths of wires 1 and 2 from the cable. I'm not having luck at all in getting it to work.
Sounds almost like the cable in the Snort FAQ. Except that there is a connection between 1 and 3 and 2 and 6 on one side, and a loop back between 1 and 2 on the other. Perhaps your cable doesn't quite represent the diagram. Works for me on 10MB and 100MB hubs. May not work on dual-speed hubs and definitely doesn't work on switches :) Regards, Frank
