After a while it just stops receiving data. Although the switch shows that it was transmitting the data to our sniffer box, I couldn't figure out what the problem was.<BR/><BR/>After searching the Net to find answers, I stumble on the 'monitor' option.<BR/><BR/>I have set this option on <I>all</I> sniffing interfaces and until now it works like a charm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
