Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that I whipped up a Wireshark Quickstart video and posted it on my main webpage www.thetechfirm.com I'm planning to make another one using MRTG.

I also updated my reading section.

Cool Tip;
I created a batch file to set my ethernet adapter to a static address of 10.10.10.1. Just paste the code into notepad and save it with a BAT extension;

REM syntax changeip addr mask gtwy dns1 dns2 netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" source=static addr=10.10.10.1 mask=255.255.255.0 netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" gateway=10.10.10.1 gwmetric=0 netsh interface ip set dns name="Local Area Connection" source=static addr=10.10.10.1 netsh interface ip add dns name="Local Area Connection" addr=10.10.10.1

--------------------------------------------

Then I created another one to put me back to DHCP; Rem set LAN card to DHCP

netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" source=dhcp netsh interface ip set dns name="Local Area Connection" source=dhcp register=PRIMARY netsh interface ip set wins name="Local Area Connection" source=dhcp

Enjoy
