Dear all,

I hope you may be able to help me. I am trying to debug and understand my 
network but have run into trouble when handling SSL packets. To make it easier 
to understand where I am up to, here are some details:

Currently I am using Wireshark on a windows PC.Clearly I have physical access 
to the router and network switches, and access to my router's configuration / 
diagnostics etc.I understand that to view SSL packets in Wireshark I need to 
obtain the private key from the SSL certificate on the server, decrypt it with 
open SSL and then load it as a .pem into Wireshark. (I think that's correct, 
please tell me if not).
The problem I'm having is that I can't export any certificates in the .pfx 
Personal Information Exchange format which I need, to be able to export the 
private key with the certificate.

If I am using a standard home router like the linksys except it's made by 
2wire, is there some way I can get it off there?

Thank you in advance and I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

How
