One Answer:
Are the application and SQLServer instance on the same machine? If so you may have difficulties due to the way loopback connections work on Windows. See the wiki Loopback page for more info. If the app and SQLServer instance are on different machines then you should be able to capture the traffic. answered 12 Jul '12, 13:50  grahamb ♦ showing 5 of 6 show 1 more comments |
Its on the same machine what should i do to get the packets?
I installed the Microsoft Loopback adapter succesfully but its set the ip for it: 169.254.152.239 and mask 255.255.0.0 in wireshark i cant see that interface how now could i use this?
I converted your "answers" to comments as that's how this Q&A site works.
Loopback capturing on Windows is hard. Try following some of the other info on the page I linked to. Your life will be much easier if you could just move the application to another machine.
RawCap (mentioned in the Loopback wiki) works pretty well.
is this still true for the latest version, 1.12.6?
Yes, it's not a Wireshark issue, the issue is with the capturing mechanism WinPCap.
