[Winpcap-users] Stop getting packets

[Pelles, Noam]

You are right, I get only broadcasts. I am connected through a blade
into a IBM pass thru copper switch.

If you mean WinDump is printing "who is X.X.X.X tell Y.Y.Y.Y", that
means that WinPcap *is* getting packets - ARP "messages" are packets,
and constitute network activity.

ARP packets are often sent as broadcasts, so what might be happening is
that you're not getting any non-broadcast packets, other than traffic
sent to or from the machine running WinDump, after a certain amount of
time.
Is the machine running WinDump plugged into a switched network?
