The first time SoapTrace.Net is run it will run as a proxy server listening on port 8080 and forwarding connections to the localhost on port 80. To configure the capture settings open up the "Settings" dialog by selecting "Settings" from the "File" menu.

To use SoapTrace.Net as a proxy server select the "Use Proxy Server" radio button.
The proxy server's port is set by entering in a port number into the "Listen On Port" field.
The remote server is the machine that hosts the web services.
Enter the server's name and port number into the "Remote Server" and "Remote Port" fields.
The server's name can either be an IP address or a host name (e.g. www.codeproject.com).
To use WinPcap, SoapTrace.Net must be run as an administrator. From the WinPcap FAQ:
"If you execute a WinPcap-based application for the first time since the last reboot, you must be administrator. At the first execution, the driver will be dynamically installed in the system, and from that moment every user will be able to use WinPcap to sniff the packets."
In SoapTrace.Net's case, once it has been successfully configured to use WinPcap as an administrator, it can be run from then on under a non-administrator account.
To use WinPcap, select the "Use WinPcap" radio button and select a network interface from the "Interface" drop down list.

To use Windows Raw Sockets, SoapTrace.Net must be run as an administrator and is only supported on Windows 2000 and XP. It will not work on Vista.
Select the "Use Raw Sockets" radio button and select an IP address from the drop down list.
