Question : need to do a packet capture on a tomcat server running on port 8080 windows xp professional

I seem to be unable to do a packet capture on windows xp professional, is it the situation that packet
capture is disabled on windows xp professional ?

All I want to do is test xmlhttprequests on the local machine but can't seem to capture this network trafic
is there a registry setting i have to mess arround with here ?

if it's just http traffic, then i really do recommend fiddler - it is way better and more intuitive to read that any packet capture.

>> And still none of this trafic to localhost is showing up ... it's driving me nuts because i want to analyse this traffic.

i'm not sure that localhost traffic will show up in the packet capture anyway, unless that is that you have the packet capture driver also bound to localhost interface.

try hotting the web server in the local lan address instead.

Cheers.
