Lists controls for capturing a trace of socket data to be used for diagnostic purposes.
File name
Specifies the name of the trace file. The default file name is IPTrace.txt. The file will be saved in the \\Program Files\Common Files\Barr\Trace folder.
Start/Stop button
Starts and stops the trace. After you start the trace, the button label changes to Stop. The trace continues to record until you click Stop.
Performance Tuning: Leaving the socket trace running can greatly degrade performance. The socket trace is intended as a diagnostic tool only and must not be used in production settings. If you close the BARR/PRINT TCP/IP Configuration utility while the trace is running, a message will ask you if you want to stop the trace.
