<In my experience it is impossible to sniff packets destined for a local <or loopback interface, using any packet capture program, from network <monitor from M$ to an application that uses WinPcap (such as Ethereal). The only program I have tested so far that seems to be able to capture loopback packets on Windows is CommView (if you install the loopback-adapter that is included). http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-users/200405/msg00133.html I haven't tested it so much, just for an hour or so. So I'm not aware about any limitations or similar. I uninstalled CommView demo-version the same day since I had some network problems a while after I installed it and I wasn't sure if this problem was due to the CommView. I don't think that the problem was due to CommView/loopback adapter - but I haven't tried it more since then. There might be some other programs. However some of them might have some limitations e.g. due to that they are implemented as a Winsock LSP. http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-users/200405/msg00154.html ================================================================== This is the WinPcap users list.
