Hi all,

 

I'm trying to capture information on an already established ppp
connection (actually, I'm using a 3G USB modem for this), but it doesn't
appear at the Interface List.  I'm using Windows XP.

The PPP interface doesn't show up at WinDump -D as well.  I think it
might be a problem with WinPcap or something.  Can anyone help me
please?

 

Regards,

 

Ernesto.

I  I  realized that WS was picking up traffic off the hardware
interface, but was unsure if in the promiscuous mode, it could/should
also pick up software interfaces (127.0.0.1).  Curious about the
Password Manager reference since FF does not request pws.  So my
question is:  Which passwords?  I will look into that.  Again thanks.

You haven't said what platform you are running on, but in the
out-of-the-box
Wireshark on Windows the loopback interface doesn't exist (it does on
other
platforms)

Low end machine for the time being.  Windows 2000 SP4, OEM version.
WS Version 1.0.9 (SVN Rev 29911)

I am confused.  I can ping 127.0.0.1 and my proxy is bound to the
localhost, yet when I go into Device Mgr > Hardware, indeed, there is
no loopback listed!?  Just as you said.  So what actually am I pinging
and what is my proxy actually bound to?  Thank you for this
information.
