Hello,
I'm attempting to monitor network traffic utilizing a network capture.
I would like to mirror traffic that is incoming on one port (port 14).
I have configured my switch to mirror traffic from port 14 to port 31, where a Windows XP host is attached.
It appears that the Windows network stack is dropping packets that aren't destined for it's IP address (unsure). I assume this to be the case because I can see traffic that transmitted out of port 14 (when configuring the mirroring to show this), but when I configure it to mirror received traffic, I can not see any packets.
How do I configure Windows XP to accept packets that are not destined for the IP address of the NIC?
Is there a special way to configure the NIC so that it accepts all destined traffic?
Thanks,
Matt
