Cor,

Most Wireless cards won't work in promiscuous mode under Windows. If you untick the "Promiscuous mode" option in the capture setup screen, you will probably see traffic. Please note that you will only see traffic to and from your own laptop as well as broadcasts.

Hope this helps,  Cheers,


Sake

Subject: [Wireshark-users] I see no captured packets at all


Hi,

I installed Wireshark (Version 0.99.4 (SVN Rev 19757)) on my laptop
(Acer Aspire 6510 with a build in Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG network
card), running Windows XP sp2.
My LAN has an Asus WL500g router and  a 3COM switch for the wired
desktops attached to it.

When I start capturing on the laptop, the name of my networkcard is
mentioned in the top of the capture window all right, but no captured
packets are shown, even if I wait for 10 minutes.

I also uninstalled and re-installed WinPcap (version 3.1)

What am I doing wrong? Is this network card the evil part?
On one of the wired desktops, it works fine.

Any help is appreciated.

Kind regards,
Cor
