Notes

To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. If the computer is joined to a domain, members of the Domain Admins group might be able to perform this procedure.
To start Network Monitor, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and double-click Network Monitor.
Network Monitor runs with reduced access in which administrative privileges have been removed. If you receive an Access Denied message when you follow this procedure, add your user name to the permissions list of the file or folder that you want to access. See Related Topics for more information about setting permissions on files and folders.
The time setting appears under Time in the Frame Viewer window Summary pane.
The Seconds From Previous Frame option provides very useful data for troubleshooting performance issues, because it helps you pinpoint gaps in time that can occur in a network transaction.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
