Hi, I am having trouble getting tcpdump to work for my machine. I have tried some of the examples given in the man page but came up empty. Everytime I try to do a tcpdump on anything I get this message:
"tcpdump: no suitable device found"This is the first time I have worked with tcpdump so I do not know if there is a need to configure anything before hand. What I am trying to achieve is simply read TCP packets going into a server. Looking at one of the man page examples, one reads:
"To print all packets arriving at or departing from sun-down: tcpdump host sundown "I try this: tcpdump host 192.168.2.8, my LAN IP. I get the same error message as above. Is this the right way to do it? If so why am I getting the "no suitable device found" message, and what does that mean?
Is this normal behaviour for a first-run of tcpdump? This program came with my darwin dist so I wouldn't be surprised if it was badly compiled. I appreciate your time very much. Thank You.
