Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Packet Capture & Personal Firewalls

Depends. IIRC the NIC may be in promiscuous mode and pass all packets up 
the stack, but the firewall sits between it and the application. Hence 
packets will be filtered. I can't test this at work to verify as we have 
the firewall controlled by a group policy, but I can check when I get 
home.

[Wireshark-users] Packet Capture & Personal Firewalls






I thought this did not matter as Wireshark puts the NIC card in 
promiscuous mode and hence the IP address of the PC is irrelevant unless 
you want to things such as pings. However, some people think otherwise. 
 
Are there any problems doing a capture on a WinXP machine that has a 
personal firewall such as ZoneAlarm running on it?
