Is it possible to have Ethereal capture data sent to the loopback address (127.0.0.1) ? For example if 'I have a PC with a network card but it is not connected to the network, can I ping myself using the command "ping 127.0.0.1" and have Ethereal capture the packets?
            Thank you very much.
