How do I find the server IP to monitor to sniff the packets from?

Trumpcard · #2 02-19-2002, 08:25 AM

The ip should be the one for your machine..

Just do a ipconfig and put that ip address in.

Use your ip. it doesnt really matter which one you use and yours is easier to determine.

You have to right click on the items or go to the bank to get the items listed.

You dont sniff based on the verant server ip, you sniff on your local ip address, whatever that is. The sniffer looks at your local interface for traffic.

All you should have to do is this, this is how I run it..

packetcollector.exe 192.168.0.2

My EQ machine is on my local subnet, and his ip address is 192.168.0.2. Run this for awhile, then when you finish, goto the cmd window you ran him from, hit CTRL-C, then you should see it connect to getfrags and upload the content.

That ip you are using is the verant ip, it wont work that way...

Hope this helps!

over and over again..never picking anything up.

whats that PPPMAC thing? and whats the net=? i didnt get a chance to set that, the target is my IP.

Trumpcard · #9 02-19-2002, 11:06 AM

Whats the -o all option for?

PPPMAC is the name of your interface i guess.. PPP point-2-point, MAC is an interface layer, Media Access Control..

Do you have more than one network card in this machine?

It almost looks to me like it might be sniffin on the wrong subnet..

The subnet is set to 208, where the ip is 209.
How is this thing connected to the internet.. Is it a dial up?

USB A-DSL

Are you supposed to use your external IP? Im not sure how the thing works, but looks like your supposed to either use your internal IP for local host (127.0.0.1) or your subnet IP 192.168.1.# (you have to figure out what DHCP number your router has given you) mine is 192.186.1.101 but most of the time they are small numbers. Try using one of those IP's and not your external firewall/router IP.

i did winipcfg and found:

My DHCP server is 255.255.255.255 ....I know this cant be right.

the 127.0.0.1 didnt work either

:(
