  1. Open Network Monitor.

  2. If prompted, select the local network from which you want to capture data by default.

Notes

  • To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. If the computer is joined to a domain, members of the Domain Admins group might be able to perform this procedure.

  • To start Network Monitor, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and double-click Network Monitor.

  • You can define up to four data patterns in a capture filter.

  • To capture frames that match any of multiple patterns, create a logical branch by selecting one of the patterns in the decision tree and clicking OR.

  • To exclude frames that match a pattern, select the pattern in the decision tree and then click NOT.

  • If you specify more than one pattern in the capture filter decision tree, by default, Network Monitor treats each as a logical OR branch.

Information about functional differences

  • Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
