    Hi there,

    I have a question regarding Parallels' host-only networking under OSX. Whenever I try to monitor the network traffic between two VMs using tcpdump in host-only networking, I cannot capture any network traffic (except broadcasts) although en2 (the host-only interface) seems to be in promiscuous mode.
    Can anyone tell me how it is organized internally? Is Parallels emulating a switched environment? Anyone succeeded capturing network traffic between two VMs in host-only mode using tcpdump?

    Thanks for your help!
    Cheers!
