I think you are either lacking a hub or a you need a network tap.
Ping your machine from another machine and see if you can snoop the icmp
requests from it. This will check if its working properly.

Hello List,

I have downloaded the above-mentioned software and tried it. It seems a
very nice tool to me, I don't even know how it works but heard about it
(that can log network traffic, to block traffic etc). Now, the problem is
that it's jost not blocking/logging anything, I was wondering if anyone
knows why?
It is blocking the localhost only, but it's not logging anything. Is this
because it is a trial version? Or should I plug it into a hub to be able
to sniff?
And how can it block traffic? Should this machine be a gateway for the
network?
I haven't found much about this product on the Internet, I'd just like to
know where to start .. how to use it, to be able to try it.

Any useful comments would be appreciated.

Greetings,
Endre Szekely-Bencedi
