When I run tcpdump -v -v -n -c 100 -i eth0 on the laptop, I see the request.
I also run /usr/sbin/tcpdump -v -v -n -c 100 ( tried -i eth0, -i any, nothing), I don't see anything at all. Just the initial tcpdump listening message. If I exit with ctrl-c, there are 0 packets.
Now that just can't be right???
