Re: I can't sniff my LAN

Hi Darkk,

After taking a look at the site and the pictures, it is evident you have a 10/100 Switch. If this switch does not have the capability of port mirroring (check your manual if possible) you'll have to try one of the previously suggested methods (buying a small switch that has this capability, or choosing an option listed in the previous wireshark link for capture setup).

Regards,

--Anthony

I think that's a hub with switch capabilities.

    Port mirroring only applies to a switch. And not all switches
    (especially the cheaper, unmanaged ones) can handle port
    mirroring.  All traffic in a hub is available to all ports.
     You've got to figure out what you've got.  And that link is in
    Brazilian Portuguese only--maybe a fellow Brazilian or
    Portuguese-speaking subscriber to this list might be able to tell
    us what it says.

    I don't know how to configure port mirroring. And maybe it's a
    hub, and not a switch. This is the one I'm talking about:

    Again, thanks!

        Hi Darkk,

        You need to enable port mirroring to be able to see all the
        traffic. By default a switch will only send out
        unicast/multicast traffic that is appropriate to that
        specific port you are plugged into.

        Regards,

        Hi!

        I have 8 computers on a local network, all linked to a
        Braview HUBSW 16NTX switch, and this switch is linked to a
        Siemens 4200 modem/router, and this to the ADSL line.

        I've been trying to monitor what's happening on the network
        but I only get results to my own computer, and I needed to
        monitor the whole network using WireShark.

        So, what should I do?
        Thanks!
