Using Tethereal to diagnose Samba Traffic
I've been having problems with Samba and the new 64 bit version of XP. A couple of the Samba developers have requested a dump of the raw packets between the Windows and Linux box during login.
I was thinking Ethereal on the windows box but then login would be impossible, Ethereal also has the problem of not having 64 bit capture drivers. I tried tethereal on the linux box but anything I dump is in the wrong format, I've been told text files are "worthless" when it comes to diagnostics.
So what command should I use to get the packets I need to send off to the developers? It has to dump to a file at some point since it will inevitably flood the console's buffer.
Here's the commands I've already done and were rejected so now I'm getting frustrated.
tethereal -i 3 -z smb,rtt,ip.addr==192.168.1.6 -f tcp port 137 or tcp port 137 or port 138 or tcp port 139 or tcp port 445 -s 2000
tethereal -i 3 -z smb,rtt,ip.addr==192.168.1.6 -f tcp port 137 or tcp port 137 or port 138 or tcp port 139 or tcp port 445 -w scan
