Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Capturing local traffic on Windows XP

[Lars Ruoff <lars.ruoff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
you may also use something like:
> route add 155.132.130.129 mask 255.255.255.255 155.132.130.1 metric 1
where 155.132.130.129 is your local IP, and 155.132.130.1 that of your default gateway.
You must have "Advanced TCP/IP Settings > Automatic metric" disabled!
What it does is basically force each packet intended for localhost to go out to the default gateway first, from which it will come back again.
Of course this means you see each packet twice.

hope it helps,
Lars Ruoff
