Default [Snort-users] Snort in VMware


<BODY><P>Hi,<BR><BR>Here's a summary of my setup: I am using VMware GSX Server for my Snort box. The guest OS where Snort is installed is running RedHat9, and the host is&nbsp;running Windows XP Pro.<BR><BR>Everything seems to work great, except I can only see packets coming to and from my host IP address: nothing else from the network appears in the Snort logs. The host machine is connected to a non-switching hub, and the linux interface on the guest is set to promiscuous mode. What I want to scan is every packet going through the hub, regardless of the source and destination addresses.<BR><BR>Has anyone had issues with running Snort on a VMware guest? Is there anything else I need to check to make sure my connection sees all the packets from the hub?<BR><BR>Thanks for your help,<BR>Brian McNeilly</P></BODY>
