Re: Capturing packets on 'loopback' on Win7?

Hello,

   I tried installing the MS Loopback adapter, and assigning it an address. I can successfully access the web server on 
the machine using the local address (10.0.10.1). I tried using Wireshark to capture packets on that adapter, but none 
of the SOAP traffic I’m trying to capture is actually showing up in Wireshark. Any ideas?

Hello,

   Is it possible to start a capture on the loopback interface on Windows 7? I have a client and server both running on 
the same machine which I’ve Installed Wireshark on. However, it appears that I cannot capture that ‘local’ traffic – 
only packets sent and received by the physical Ethernet device on my computer?
