I have a receiver on usb that sends packets to host 127.0.0.1, port 31001. How can I get wireshark to display these packets? I am not interested in capturing, just displaying to insure the receiver is sending packets ok. asked 07 Dec '12, 22:25  krychak4a |
One Answer:
You can't display packets unless something has captured them. If the packets are being sent to 127.0.0.1, that's a loopback address, so you might only see it if you can capture on a loopback address, which you can't do on all operating systems. answered 08 Dec '12, 00:37  Guy Harris ♦♦ |
Thank you, Guy. That was what I was afraid of after reading the help files and faq's. I thought I might have to develope a small program to read the port involved. I do have a program that does, and decodes the packets, it is not my program, so I cannot modify it. Again, thanks for your fast reply. John
