RE: Cant see alert for rule

["Tom Fulton" <tfulton9909 () comcast net>]

Interesting...
My laptop (snortbox) is using a 100MB NIC

My two other boxes are using the Intel 10/100/1000 NIC

Since the little Linksys 10/100 5-port workgroup hub is in the middle,
shouldn't it all level out to 100MB?

If not, what can I do?  This is a lab so no prob switching things around...

Should I pull the laptop out of the equation and just run the two Intel
10/100/1000 NICs? (install Snort on the attacker?  But if I do that, will I
just end up with the same problem?

thanks

10/100 hubs actually have a switch between the 10Mbps segment and the
100Mbps segment to provide connectivity between them.  So,  if the snort box
is on a different speed link than the other PC's, the snort box will still
not see any of the traffic between the other two PC's.
