I need to capture packets between a cable modem and a router for diagnostic purposes. I have inserted a hub between them, so I can attach the Win2K system to it, but I need to avoid having the capturing system inserting packets of its own as it might either mask the problem I am trying to diagnose or create new problems.
I have downloaded and installed Wireshark 0.99.4 on a Windows 2000 system. I am able to capture packets on my ethernet interface with the interface enabled and in full operation, but if I disable the interface as I expect I will need to in order to operate "stealthy" the interface is not available to select for capture in Wireshark. How do I need to configure things to be able to do what I need? Can I define another ethernet interface using the same NIC that has no protocols enabled on it and then swap which one is enabled? Do I need to disable all protocols on the existing interface for the capture and then manually re-enable them when I want to reconnect to the network? Any help appreciated.
