[Winpcap-users] First time user, no capture

[John McClelland]

GV

Thnx for the reply.... I have only tried YATT and pcapTrace.  I did look at the FAQ and at the list of wireless adapters.  I have the Intel 2200BG in my laptop...I see some reports of 100% works and 100% doesn't work...so no real insight there.  I was not able to see the video for tricks for some reason.  I will try a hard Ethernet connection to my laptop at some point and see if this clears the problem.

  Have you tried running another WinPcap based application to capture packets?

  Also, you are capturing for a Wireless card. Wireless capture with WinPcap is known to be badly supported, due to the limits the wireless NIC cards and the OS itself. I suggest you to read this FAQ about that:

  http://www.winpcap.org/misc/faq.htm#Q-16

  In particular, the Intel 2200 does *not* work in promiscuous mode, you need to disable promiscuous mode to capture the packets.

  Have a nice day

    Hi

    I just installed YATT.  Here is the install ifo:


    WinPCAP 3.1
    YATT installer (build 352)  -> YATT v0.3.0.352 shown on the GUI

    I picked:
    winPCapCapture Version 1.0.3
    Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
    Name Filter:
    Port Filter:

    The GUI comes up and says "Trace running" but no captures come up.  I have tried putting things like www.google.com in the Name with no port, Port 80 and no Name, and my sebserver name and port 80.  Nothing comes up on the screen no matter what traffic I generate to these sites.

    I also tried to use pcapTrace with the same results.

    I'm sure I am doing something wrong, but can't figure out what.

    Thanx for any help in advance.
