Hi all

I am new here.
I'd like to seek advice for setting up Wireshark to run as a service (with
Admin rights) during start-up.
Possibly Wireshark should be up and running before the system initiates the
Network Interface.

I like to do this to find out what is sent over the cable during start-up.

OS: MS Windows Professional SVC Pack 2

So far I initiate Wireshark by issuing the following CL command:
  ->  c:\programme\wireshark\wireshark -i 2 -a duration:60 -w
c:\SamsungTrace.cap -k -Q

But of course by the time I am able to invoke this command the Network
interface is up and has been sending/receiving data over the wire already.
So it is not the solution to simply put this into a batchfile inside the
startup folder.

I believe starting a service would be a more effective way to accomplish
gathering data from the very begining. I just don't know how to create a
service that executes the command (or similar) posted above.

Guess there is a simple solution, I am just not aware of it.

Thanks for your comments, replies and suggetions to the solution.

Regards, Hans.
