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)?
Using VMware: This is because the guest hosts all share the same virtual network device on the host. I had this problem when setting up some honeypots using vmware. I solved the problem by making new vmware virtual network devices and putting the guests on separate devices. There is one problem with this approach that I haven't really had the time to investigate --- the guest hosts in this system will not be able to communicate with each other...
