Hi Sangeetha,
If the packets you are interested in, are passing by your machine, capture in promiscuous mode and use a capture filter (host x.x.x.x) or display filter (ip.addr eq x.x.x.x).
If you cannot see those packets from your machine, your machine is probably connected to a switched Ethernet network. For more information, please read the section on capturing packets at http://www.wireshark.org/faq.html#q7.1
Best regards,
Tom Heyligen
Quality Software Engineer
