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
