Netmon packet sniffing on CE? Oh yeah ... we can do that!

Got NetLog?

The creativity and knowledge of our team never ceases to amaze me. When I was having issues sniffing across a switch in our network (doesn't allow for capturing broadcast packets) someone on the CE Core Network team suggested that I use Netlog on the CE device. 

What? You can catch packets from a CE device with a utility that is shipped with Platform Builder? And PPP connectivty? Oh yeah... with one catch: there is no CE Netmon UI to display the captures. You have to use the desktop version of Netmon. 

See msdn article https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wcecomm5/html/wce50grfnetlog.asp for more details ....

Netlog is a sample tool that logs network traffic. It produces files that can be read by using the Microsoft Windows Network Monitor (NetMon) .Netlog has no arguments of its own, but is controlled by the Netlogctl sample command-line tool. For more information, see Netlogctl.
