<BR>
Is there a way to use WinPcap to monitor network traffic between two processes on the same host? <BR>
<BR>
I am using Server 2003 Std. I have a user application that is communicating with a Windows service on the same host. The service is bound to an ip address on the server (not the local loopback). I need to be able to see the traffic between the user application and the service. I have tried using a binary installer of Wireshark 1.0 that ships with WinPcap 4.0.2. It is not able to see the network traffic between the two processes.<BR>
<BR>
The only option that seems left to me to built a second server and move the service to the ‘new’ server, then I can monitor the traffic. I would like to avoid this if possible. <BR>
<BR>
Any ideas?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
