Hi,
I would like to see the network traffic on the network created on a Win 7 box when connected to a Freescale Tower using Freescale's MQX and Freescales (fixed) CDC example code. I would like to do this with Wireshark. So far, Whireshark shows no activity. Has anyone else been able to do this?
-thanks
I'm not sure exactly how your network is configured, but a common problem in this situation is that with modern switched Ethernet networks, computers only see broadcast packets and packets addressed directly to them, the switch will not send them copies of packets addressed to third parties. So if you just install Wireshark on a computer and connect it to the same network as two hosts you wish to monitor, you are not going to see much if any of their traffic. The ways round this problem are:
Apparently I have overlooked the Windows creed that rebooting is required after everything / anything. After everything was power cycled, Wireshark was able to "see" the traffic between the Win7 box and the Freescale Tower running a fixed version of the Freescale CDC/USB Ethernet over USB example. Now that I think of it, this post is being done using this Ethernet over USB connection.
-thanks
