Frequently Asked Questions In this chapter you can find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions. The latest FAQ is always available.

Can CommView be used for capturing dial-up (RAS) adapter traffic? What exactly does CommView 'see' when installed on a PC connected to a LAN? CommView enables the network card's promiscuous mode and can capture network traffic on the local segment of the LAN. In other words, normally it captures and analyzes packets addressed to all of the computers on the segment, not only to the one where the program is running. There are certain limitations for Wireless Ethernet adapters (you can monitor only inbound/outbound traffic) and switched networks (see the next question about switches in this FAQ). I am connected to the LAN through a switch, and when I launch CommView, it captures only the packets sent to and from my machine.

I can't see the traffic of other machines. Why is this so?

Bridge management system indonesia. Capturing and Cracking WEP WPA/WPA2 With Commview: Wi-Fi: “WiFi” is the short form for Wireless Fidelity. It is a high speed internet and network connection without the use of wires or cables.

Unlike hubs, switches prevent promiscuous sniffing. In a switched network environment, CommView (or any other packet analyzer) is limited to capturing broadcast and multicast packets and the traffic sent or received by the PC on which CommView is running. However, most modern switches support 'port mirroring', which is a feature that allows you to configure the switch to redirect the traffic that occurs on some or all ports to a designated monitoring port on the switch. By using this feature, you will able to monitor the entire LAN segment.

We wrote a white paper,, that covers these topics in detail. Ok, I am connected to the LAN through a hub, but I can't see other machines' traffic again, as if it's a switch. Why is this so?

There are two possible reasons: Either you have a hub that is only labeled as a hub, but inside is a switch (some vendors like Linksys do that), or you have a multi-speed hub, in which case you can't see the traffic from the stations operating at the speed that is different from your NIC's speed (e.g. If you have a 10 Mbit NIC, you can't see the traffic generated by 100 Mbit NICs). I have a home LAN connected to the Internet via a broadband router, and I can see only my own traffic.

Is it possible to capture the traffic of other machines on my home LAN? In brief, yes. There are a few methods that can help you solve this problem.
