Capture directly from netANALYZER with Wireshark 3.0 and above

Q

Is it still possible to capture directly from the netANALYZER device with Wireshark 3.0 and above?

A

Since Wireshark 3.0 the standard packet capture library has changed from WinPcap to Npcap.

Unfortunately, Npcap currently does not support capturing from netANALYZER devices directly.

As newer versions of Wireshark are still able to use the Winpcap library for capturing, it is still possible to use the netANALYZER directly from Wireshark.

Simply skip installing Npcap during the Wireshark installation procedure by deselecting "Install Npcap #.##-r#". And keep the existing WinPcap installation from the netANALYZER Scope installation.
