Leon: your problem isn't unique to Windows XP, but here's a Windows XP
answer.
You are correct that you need a tcpdump file available. Winpcap does NOT
produce these by itself. Winpcap is a library of functions for programs to
use, there is no command line interface to it. Other packet capture programs
use winpcap to capture packets and save them to "tcpdump" files. Probably
the easiest tool for you to use on Windows XP is Ethereal (www.ethereal.com)
which is a nice GUI based packet capture program. Once you capture packets
and save them in a file (the tcpdump file), then you should be able to use
tcptrace to analyze the tcp sessions captured in the those files.
Hope that helps.
good luck,

Subject: How to run tcptrace on Windows XP?
Hello,
Has anyone run tcptrace on Windows XP? I'd appreciate
it if anyone could help me.
I got the following problems when I ran tcptrace on
Windows XP.
I first downloaded WinPcap and installed it on my PC.
Then I installed the 6.6.0 version of tcptrace for the
same PC.
But when I clicked on the tcptrace executable, I saw a
comand window (I guess) appeared and then quickly
disappeared before I could know what was on the
command window.
I opend up a command window and ran the tcptrace
executable. I could execute the command "tcptrace -h".
But I could not run other commands because I did not
have a tcpdump file available, which was supposed to
be generated by WinPcap. How do you run WinPcap to get
the tcpdump file on a PC? Can we run WinPcap in a
command line fashion?
Thanks a lot!
Leon
