In this video i will show you how to capture data with Network Monitor.

 
In this lab, you will capture some data with the network monitor that you installed in the previous lab.
  1. Open the Network Monitor application by selecting Start > Administrative Tools > Network Monitor. You will be prompted to select an interface to monitor. Select the Local Area Connection to continue.
  2. Use the Capture > Buffer Settings command to increase the capture buffer size to 2MB. This gives you room for 4096 frames of data. Click OK.
  3. Start a capture with the Capture > Start command. The simulator will automatically generate some network traffic for the network monitor to capture.
  4. Let the capture run until the buffer is full; you can tell by watching the “# Frames in Buffer” line in the Captured Statistics section of the Total Stats pane. Then click the Stop button to stop the capture.
  5. Save the capture buffer to disk with the File > Save As command.
