I've watched all your videos. That one is saved to my computer actually. The ARP video you have is what actually made me want think about trying this. The issue might be my computer, I am unsure. When I get the chance, I will try this on a different computer on my network and see where the problem lies. If it is my computer, are there any special network proticols I need to have installed other than netmon?
Thanks
Are you on the same vlan/subnet? Also, does your card support promiscuous mode?
From what I've seen yes. I had an old computer networked to my Lan jack on my mobo, and bridged the LAN with the WiFi, and so the old computer worked on the internet and showed up in the router's DHCP table. Do I need to activate this form of operation, or if it exists, should it already be turned on?
I also would like to add that I have Norton Personal Firewall and have tried Cain with it both on and off. Also, I use Wireless Zero Configuration (just found the driver file on the CD when installing) and today tried the Linksys App, and found that CnA does not read the IP from it at all.
Cain should turn on promiscuous mode automatically. Does you laptop have a Centrino 802.11b (IPW2200) chipset in it? If so, it does not seem to support promiscuous mode in Windows (at least on my laptop).
Acutally, I have Wifi on my desktop because it is too hot outside right now for me to go drop wires in my attic, its a wmp54g pci card. I've done a lot of googling, and found an article on Microsoft about how to force compatibility mode for a wifi card, but this appears to work only when the ethernet port and the wifi adapter are bridged.
EDIT
While doing some troubleshooting, I have discovered that the wmp54g is probably not compatible with promiscuous[sp] mode. I have run a long lan cable to the router and volia! it works.
This makes the question then, how can I get the WMP54g to operate in promiscous mode?
Don't know, in Linux it may be supported but then you can't run Cain.
Well, I guess I'm off to go learn how to "properly" drop CAT5E cables... Thanks everyone for your help. Thanks Irongeek for those awesome video tutorials, I think your website is one of the coolest things I've seen (content-wise :D)
If you know someone willing to do pretty html for free I'm listening. :)
