This tab is used for
displaying detailed information about WLAN connections (IP and IPv6
protocols only). To start capturing packets, select
File =
> Start Capture in the menu, or click on
the corresponding button on the toolbar. Please note that this tab
will not
be populated
unless the program is capable of decrypting WEP/WPA-encrypted WLAN
traffic. If your WLAN uses WEP encryption, all the data packets
being sent are encrypted, and it is impossible to obtain
information about their IP address unless you have entered the
correct WEP or WPA key(s). To enter your WEP or WPA key(s),
select Settings
=> WEP/WPA Keys in the menu.
The meaning of the table
columns is explained below:
Source
IP, Destination IP – shows the pair of IP
addresses between which the packets are being sent. The
program automatically determines the location of any IP address,
and depending on your geolocation settings, may show the country
name or flag next to the IP address. For more information
see
Setting
Options.
In
– shows the
number of packets received.
Out
– shows the
number of packets sent.
Sessions
– shows the
number of established TCP/IP sessions. If no TCP connections were
established (connections failed, or the protocol is UDP/IP or
ICMP/IP), this value is zero.
Ports
– lists the
remote computer's ports used during the TCP/IP connection or
connection attempt. This list can be empty if the protocol is not
TCP/IP. Ports can be displayed either as numeric values or as the
corresponding service names. For more information see
Setting
Options.
Hostname
– shows the
remote computer's hostname. If the hostname cannot be resolved,
this column is empty.
Bytes
– shows the
number of bytes transmitted during the session.
Last
packet – shows the time of the
last packet sent/received during the session.
You can show or hide
individual columns by right-clicking on list header or using
the View
=>
Latest
IP Connections Columns menu. The column order can
be changed by dragging the column header to a new
location.
Menu Commands
Right-clicking on the
Latest IP Connections list brings up a menu with the following
commands:
Quick
Filter – finds the packets sent
between the selected IP addresses and displays them in a new
window. The same action is performed when you double-click on this
window.
Copy
– copies the
local IP address, remote IP address, or hostname to the
clipboard.
Show
All Ports – displays a window with
the complete list of ports used in communicating between the
selected pair of IP addresses. This is useful when many ports were
used, and they don't fit into the corresponding column.
Data
Transfer – displays a window with
information on the data transfer volume between the selected pair
of IP addresses and the time of the last packet.
Jump
To –
allows you to quickly jump to the first/last packet with the
selected source/destination IP address; the program will display
the Packets tab and set the mouse cursor to the packet that matches
the criterion.
SmartWhois
– sends the
selected source or destination IP address to SmartWhois, if it is
installed on your system. SmartWhois is a stand-alone application
developed by our company, capable of obtaining information about
any IP address or hostname in the world. It automatically provides
information associated with an IP address, such as domain, network
name, country, state or province, city. The program can be
downloaded from our site.

you can assign an easy-to-remember
alias
