Commview seems to be the only tool which is able to "snif" loopback packets, or does anyone know another product doing so?

how about

Packet Sniffer SDK
or
Loopback Monitoring

Hey, seems, that this softperfect software could work -- but the program has to be paid and also the "Packet Sniffer SDK" costs quite a lot :-(

My other attempts failed so far...
- installing the MS virtual loopback adapter
- Wireshark
- MS Network Monitor
- etc.

But now I'm downloading the trial of SoftPerfect Network Protocol Analyzer...

Thanks for your tips!

Have tested all programs now, found also a nice freeware from nirsoft which is called socketsniffer. Not very comfortable but works without installation

Anyhow, CommView seems to be the best sniffing tool (at least when loopback traffic must be observed), but costs a lot of money...
