I'm trying to stream all packets to a machine running ethereal.
The tool will packet sniff to the router just fine (its a rb532), however when i set streaming to a local ip, and set it to monitor one interface, its just starts dumping all kinds of packets as fast as it can to my ethereal machine.
I see this bc it starts dumping 9mbit worth of made up traffic (since the line is always dead after office hours) and maxes out the CPU (to 100%). I cant stop the packetsniffer and the only way to stop it is to reboot the router.
Any ideas? i've used packet streaming exactly like this at a different install with no issues.
mt: 2.9.24
EDIT: for what its worth the bogus packets are all icmp destination unreachable (port unrechable) packets..along with the small amount of actual real traffic.
EDIT: also changing the stream TO server still gives the same weird results.
tks..
