I am using Snort and a few other tools to decide which I'd like best. Here's the thing about Lowell's comment on Bridging. Is this necessary in this case? I don't want the interface without an IP to EVER transmit outbound. If I Need to enable bridging I'll do so. The other thing is, is it possible to configure each card to be on a different subnet(like xl1 on 10.X.X.X and xl0 on 192.X.X.X)? Bpf is in the kernel Andrew, do you like VooDoo Blue? Let me know, I am involved. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Boothman [mailto:andrew@cream.org] Sent: Saturday, January 03, 2004 12:27 PM To: Scott Renna Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: problem with 2 nics in same box Scott Renna wrote: > Hello List, > > I am having some difficulty in getting my xl0 and xl1 3com cards to work > the way I'd like.

What software are you using to sniff the traffic? Do you have the bpf device in your kernel? Do you get an error message or just no traffic recieved? Andrew P.S. Are you something to do with VooDoo Blue or do you just do their web site, or just a fan or something? :)
