...and note that Windows doesn't have something equivalent to the "loopback interface" in the UN*X sense - as far as I know, it handles traffic from the sending machine to itself by wrapping it around internally without it passing through a fake network interface, so there *is* no loopback adapter on which to trace. The Microsoft Loopback Adapter looks like a regular network adapter, with a regular network interface, and traffic sent to a loopback address, or to another of the machine's network interfaces, doesn't go through it. _______________________________________________ Wireshark-users mailing list Wireshark-users@wireshark.org http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-users
