> Network Monitor is the archived protocol analyzer and is no longer under development. Also, Microsoft Message Analyzer (MMA) was retired and its download packages were removed from microsoft.com sites on November 25, 2019. There is currently no Microsoft replacement for Microsoft Message Analyzer in development at this time. For similar functionality, consider using another, non-Microsoft network protocol analyzer tool. For more details, see [Microsoft Message Analyzer Operating Guide](/message-analyzer/microsoft-message-analyzer-operating-guide).

4. Select **Stop**, and go to **File > Save as** to save the results. By default, the file will be saved as a ".cap" file.
|

|

The saved file has captured all the traffic that is flowing to and from the selected network adapters on the local computer. However, your interest is only to look into the traffic/packets that are related to the specific connectivity problem you are facing. So you will need to filter the network capture to see only the related traffic.
