Ethereal Ethereal
is a network packet capture tool and analyzer. It's
available free from the following URL:
http://www.ethereal.com/
In order to capture packets with Ethereal, you will also need
to install WinPcap. It is available from the same URL.
After you've installed WinPcap and Ethereal, launch it and
select Capture, Interfaces to display the Capture
Interfaces dialog as shown in the following image.
Note that in this case, I have three interfaces.
However, only one of them is showing any activity as indicated
by the red border. (I drew this border on the image.
You won't see it in the Capture Interfaces dialog.) If you
don't see any activity on any of the interfaces, open a browser
and browse to any page to generate some network traffic.
To start the capture, click on the Capture
button next to the interface that is displaying network
activity. You will see the Capture dialog shown below:
Once you've started the capture, you will want
to reproduce the problem you are having in FrontPage. You
should see activity in the Capture dialog, indicated by the
bluish-green bar shown above.
Once you have successfully reproduced your
problem in FrontPage, click the Stop button in the capture
dialog and the Close button in the Capture Interfaces dialog.
You are now ready to analyze the capture in Ethereal!
