Thank you...I double checked my cables and appear to have things correct, so far.
I have my tap in between the router and the switch with the internet traffic passing through well to/from the target computer. (the target computer is active on the internet.)
I have tested both my ettheret ports (internal and a usb 3.0 adpater) and they are working fine. I tested each port with the one port traffic that the tap does see and wireshark reads them fine.
Both ehternets are in proms mode. Maybe it is a bad unit..? I would be surprised though. As I mentioned, I am referring to, is the one port pointing upward from the word 'Scott' on th device.
Is there a way to test this port to see if traffic is happening?
Thank you for the replies...

Hello,
Just a quick support question. I am sure I am doing something wrong here. I purchased the throwing star and have set up a few different configurations. I have wireshark set up, and for some reason I am unable to get the 4th port to read data. Everything else works great and I tested to make sure both my computer ethernet ports are working correctly. The 4th port on the Lan Tap Pro I am referring to, is the one pointing upward from the word 'Scott.'
Is there something I can check to make sure that port is working?
Thank you very much,
Jeff

New post to a previous issue...not seeing in coming network traffic on Port J3 of the Throwing Star LAN Tap Pro.
Just to note, the manufacturer was great when I contacted him. He replied quickly and offered a replacement, free of charge. Will advise on the results when it arrvies.
I purchased the Throwing Star LAN Tap Pro from hak5 which was demonstrated in one of the twit.tv know-how episodes. I thought it was was advised to be able to collect/see in and out network traffic at the same time through a network analyizing program like wireshark. It was also discussed to have two available erthernet ports if one wanted to collect/see both in/out at the same time to analyze in wireshark.
This is in reference to the know how Episode #64 @ 7:19 mins. <http://twit.tv/show/know-how/64>
The second issue was in using a tap pro with a swtich and an all-all-one modem/router, where to put the tap pro to capture all the network traffic coming in and out?
I tried setting the tap pro directly after my moden/router, then to the switch, then from the switch I connected all my computers. I was only able to capture traffic going out, not coming in.(I did verify both ethernet ports and cables were working correctly. I also verified my 3.0 usb erthernet adpter was working correctly.)
Next, I tried a more simple setup: the modem/router through the tap pro, (J1 & J2) to my single test laptop with my monitoring laptop connected to J3 & J4 would capture in and out going traffic from my test laptop. Still no incoming traffic, just out going....
I reviewed the twit.tv know how episodes 63, 64 and 84 hoping to see if I missed something.. I also wnet on hak5 to see what I was missing. Does some one have a link of a setup/diagram for a single unit modem/router using the tap pro and a switch which would capture all in/out traffic? Thank you the read and help.
