Nope, no response. I never did figure it out. I just rearranged my network so the machines I want to monitor (i.e. the Windows ones!) are attached to the device which allows tcpdump to watch what they're doing.

Derek, I bought four Linksys HUBS for my work a while back, for the express purpose of being able to sniff some traffic. Couldn't do it. Opened a unit, and googled for the chip part number. It was an ethernet switch part number. The chip manufacturer's web site claimed a new breakthrough technology that lowered the price point to the point that their chips could be used instead of simple repeater chips. We ended up digging up some old 10BT hubs out of a closet. -- Mitch Thompson, San Antonio TX // WB5UZG Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) http://home.satx.rr.com/mlthompson Independent Amsoil Dealer http://amsdealer.webhop.biz wget -O - http://home.satx.rr.com/mlthompson/pubkey.gpg | gpg --import -- "There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't."
