Setting the Recording Method

6-5

Selecting a Client/Server Pair

The

Method:Network

tab contains the following lists of computer addresses. Select

one item in each list:

Client

The client's network name (or IP address) and, optionally, the port number.

Server

The server's network name (or IP address) and, optionally, the port number.

If a computer that you want to specify is not listed, define the computer as described
in Defining a Client or Server Computer on page 6-31.

You can choose

Any

Local machine

instead of a specific computer name:

If you select

Any

for either the client or the server, Robot records traffic for all

clients or all servers on the network.

If you select

Local machine

for the client (the default), Robot records traffic from

the Local computer. Robot determines the computer's network name
automatically. You do not have to specify it.

Local machine

records traffic from all of the computer's ports. To record traffic

from a particular port, click

Manage Computers

to define the computer network

name and port number of interest.

Selecting a Network Card

If you are using network recording and the Local computer has more than one
network interface card installed, you must identify the card to use, as follows
(Windows NT 4.0 operating system):
1. Click

Start

Settings

Control Panel

2. Double-click the

box.

5. In the list of services, expand the

item by clicking

the + icon before it.

6. Click the network interface card that you want to use.
7. Click

Move Up

until the selected card is at the top of the list.

8. Click

9. Reboot the computer.

Alternatively, instead of moving the name of the interface card that you want to use
to the top of the list, you can click

Disable

to disable all of the other interface cards.
