My question regarding Fiddler two is regarding "DefaultLAN" which is addressed under "Tools" > "Connections" > "DefaultLAN".
I Have been trying to toggle it on as it isnt possible at this moment due to the fact that its listed grey. (Can't toggle it on)
So far i havent been able to google whatsoever in my struggle to find a way to be able to toggle this option on.
Could anyone tell me what is up with this and what i have to do to activate it?
Im sorry for this rookie question.
Regards
John M.

Can you explain more generally what problem you're trying to solve?
The "DefaultLAN" option is the default used by Fiddler. The only scenario in which it is not checked by default is if you've manually set a legacy registry key named "HookConnectionNamed" using the registry editor.

I have tried to figure it all out and look it up on google but im far from experienced with these kinds of things, i just dont seem to be able to toggle it on.
Thanks for your reply
I suspect the problem you're having here is that Fiddler isn't in "Capturing" mode. Is the "Capture traffic" box checked on the File menu? If so, can you please copy/paste the contents of Fiddler's Log tab?

I have a similar issue where as when start Fiddler thru IE , there is no traffic captured. I am using Fiddler 2 ( although I get the same results when I use Fiddler 4). Can someone tell me why Fiddler is not capturing or showing any traffic although I have cleared it and refreshed the browser window?
Thanks
John's problem is that he had disabled capture in Fiddler (e.g. by unticking File > Capture traffic)... it's not clear to me whether you're saying that you've done the same thing? Have you tried another browser? Do you have any 3rd party networking software (e.g. a VPN) or security software (e.g. an antivirus program) installed?

Hello Eric. Thanks you for your response. I do have the Capture Selected. I am using Fiddler 2( I have used Fiddler 4 as well with the same results)usually connect to my work VPN using this laptop, but I am not connected when I have this issue. Either way Fiddler does not capture any traffic. I have try IE, Chrome and Firefox. Neither will produce any traffic.
When I attempt to browse to http://ip4.fiddler:8888 , I get a " This Page can not be displayed". When I browse to http://localhost:8888, I get the following
Fiddler Echo Service
GET / HTTP/1.1

Connection: Keep-Alive This page returned a HTTP/200 response

With a 200 Connection Closed in Fiddler itself.
I am using Fiddler version 2.6.10.
Can you please help me get this to work. I also disabled all the browser extentions.
These symptoms indicate that Fiddler is reachable but your browsers aren't configured to send traffic to Fiddler. This most commonly occurs due to interference from corporate networking software (e.g. VPN clients, even while inactive) or antivirus software (e.g. TrendMicro, AVG, etc). These pieces of software sometimes unconditionally change the system's proxy settings away from Fiddler.
While the "File > Capture Traffic" menu is checked in Fiddler, click the Tools > WinINET Options menu item. In the dialog box that appears, click the LAN Settings button; what do you see?
In Firefox, if you adjust the settings as shown in the "manually configure Firefox" section of this post: http://www.telerik.com/blogs/configuring-firefox-for-fiddler (specifically http://www.telerik.com/sfimages/default-source/blogs/24windows-live-writer-configuring-firefox_990c-image_5-png-png), does Firefox traffic begin to appear in Fiddler?

Hello Eric,
Thank you once again for your response. I am able to get Firefox to work with Fiddler. It still does not capture any IE traffic. I understand what you are saying about the configuration with the VPN and proxy setting of the system.
To answer your question about the WININet options:
While the "File > Capture Traffic" menu is checked in Fiddler, click the Tools > WinINET Options menu item. In the dialog box that appears, click the LAN Settings button; what do you see?
The LAN Settings window os empty. There is nothing selected.
In addition, I have a request or maybe the tool already does have this. Can you add the time to the Web Session Window/ Panel so that we can see when the sessions start and end? I understand that we can see that in the properties window when selected, but I think it would be a great feature to be able to see the time stamps in the Web Sesson window.
What do you think?
Thanks
Michael
If the LAN Settings box is empty, that means that either the attempt to set the proxy failed due to an API error, or that something changed the proxy settings away from Fiddler. Does Fiddler's LOG tab show anything when you hit F12 over and over to attach/detach Fiddler as the system's default proxy?
You can show any timestamp you like in the Web Sessions list as a column. Right-click the list header and choose "Customize columns...". In the box that appears, select the Session Timers collection.
