CMST 250, Networking I
Objective
In this lab, we discussed how a packet sniffing analyzer sees what is happening in a network. There are several variations of analyzers available for each operating system.
Equipment
Internet connection
Computer
Downloaded version of packet sniffing tool, in this case, Wireshark.
Notes and Observations
In this lab, we were instructed to download Wireshark and click the capture menu and then select start to begin capturing network traffic information. While the program is running, there are multiple ways to save and see the captured data. The easiest way to do this is by pinging the host to ensure connectivity. After each activity, make sure you click stop to receive new data for each activity.

Conclusion
In conclusion, I was able to successfully download Wireshark and able to ping my connection to ensure I was able to receive a return from my ping to see packets that were going through my connection,
