Hi ,

I wrote a http sniffer program , first ran it in my standalone pc < fedora OS >, and it worked well. And when i tried this in a LAN setting < bus-LAN , fedora OS again > , and set the eth0 to promisc mode , the program captures only the URLs browsed by the system in which it is running , but not the ones browsed in neighbouring systems.. Am i missing something here.. i've heard people talk about " setting up subnets " , " use routers / additional ethernet cards " etc , but i dont really understand / know how to do / or even if i should be doing anything of that sort..

please help ..
