Folks:
I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to capture local packets sent to the primary IP of my system.
Basically, I'm running a client & server on my desktop system ... I want to capture the packets between the two programs.
I know I can't capture the packets going to localhost ... but if my system has an IP of 192.168.1.10, can I capture the packets if the client establishes the connection to the server using that IP? 

I've *TRIED* to do this ... but so far no luck.

Thanks!

david
