+===== General Troubleshooting  =====
+==== Capturing Packet Stream with Wireshark ====
+) Download and install [[http://www.wireshark.org|Wireshark ]]and associated programs to enable live stream capture on the PC you already use VLC Media Player. A Restart will be required once installation is complete.
+) Set encoder for RTP/RTSP transfer and begin encoding as described in your product's manual.
+) Open Wireshark. Double click the "Ethernet" near the center of the window to automatically begin capture.
+{{  http://wiki.z3technology.com//lib/plugins/ckgedit/fckeditor/userfiles/image/faqs/media_servers/wireshark_start.jpg?nolink&819x599  }}
+) Open VLC Media Player on the Same PC and begin Streaming RTSP as described in your product's manual.
+) Allow Stream to capture for 1 minute. Click the Red Stop button on the menu bar of Wireshark.
+{{  http://wiki.z3technology.com//lib/plugins/ckgedit/fckeditor/userfiles/image/faqs/media_servers/wireshark_running.jpg?nolink&819x599  }}
