VMware Workstation, Server (used to to be GSX Server) or ESX Server?
If ESX what version 2 or 3? Assuming ESX then it is a configuration problem since by default promiscuous mode is disabled. In 2.x it was a pain to turn on as I recall, but on 3 it is easier. I guess that isn't entirely true. It can be found in the GUI in 3, but in 2 you had to go in via the cmd line to do it.
Couldn't say on workstation or Server, but those are both host based so anything is possible, but based on my tests of late I don't recall seeing it in workstation.
I saw a problem last week when I logged into a Guest OS hosted at a Virtual Server. I installed ethereal and saw all the traffic that goes to the entire server, no only my virtual server. I wanna known if this is a configuration problem of a normal behavior of every Virtual Machine environment (maybe Vmware has this problem too)?
Thanks
