- Will etherfind display packets that are an invalid packet when the host option
- is used? I'm writing a tool that writes to the network, and I'm talking
- directly to the network via a pc. It's ethernet address is aa:55:aa:55:aa:55,
- and I transmit a 1200 byte packet consisting of sequential bytes (00,01,02, ...,
- fe, ff, 00, 01, etc). The first 12 bytes are my source and destination.
- I've got a Sun3 on my test network and if I use 'etherfind greater 1000' it
- sees the packet, but if I use 'etherfind host jimstest' it doesn't see the
- packets. If I use my real sun to ping jimstest then etherfind sees the
- packets.
-
- If etherfind won't do what I want does anyone have any suggestions? Spending
- money is out :-(, but I've got both a Sun 3 and a PC I can run software on.
