I have two applications a client and a server running on my local machine and want to monitor their network traffic through NetMon.
One solution is to route the local traffic through the default gateway. However, I never got this working. It should be as easy as adding the following route:
net add <localip> MASK <mask> <defaultgatway> METRIC 1 IF 1
Result:
===========================================================================
Active Routes:
Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metric
87.198.54.0 255.255.255.0 87.198.54.9 87.198.54.9 25
---> 87.198.54.0 255.255.255.0 87.198.54.1 87.198.54.9 1
87.198.54.9 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 25
87.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 87.198.54.9 87.198.54.9 25
Default Gateway: 87.198.54.1
===========================================================================
---> 87.198.54.0 255.255.255.0 87.198.54.1 87.198.54.9 1
So I would expect that this route routes everything to 87.198.54.9 to the gateway. It doesn't.
The approach is described in the following Technet slides. So I am pretty sure there must be a way to make this work....
Any ideas why the route doesn't work?
QUESTION MADE MORE SPECIFIC:
I run a ping on local machine to my local machine.
How can I see the ICMP packets in MS NetMon?
Thanks, Alex
