- 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.
- A Network Monitor display filter functions like a database query. You can use it to specify the types of captured data you want to examine. You also can use display filters to specify the types of displayed data, such as protocols and computer addresses, that you want to save to a file.
- You can add only one expression at a time. If you specify an expression and then click another tab in the Expression dialog box, that expression is lost. To save the specified expression and add it to the decision tree, you must click OK.
