Re: Very, very elementary question - how do I make sense of the trace?

First thing I'd do is look at the protocols for each packet you receive. 
Then look up the packet structure on wiki. once you know what protocols do 
what you'll start to gain some understanding of what's going on.

I cannot find anywhere a basic and simple enough explanation of the meaning 
of
the output from Wireshark for me to be able to understand it (the output).

Can anyone recommend something that I could read, that might slightly reduce
my ignorance?  My ignorance is so total that I do not even know what
questions to ask, so that Google is sadly not my friend. :-(.

Thanks,
Lisi
