I am working on embedded project which has TCP/IP/PPP stack. I want to connect my ARM based microcontroller to the serial port of my PC and use wireshark to capture PPP packets.

I assume Wireshark is running on the PC.

So are you using PPP to communicate between the microcontroller and the PC (so that the serial port is being used as a network connection), or are you using PPP to communicate between the microcontroller and some other machine, with the PC being used to passively capture PPP packets going between the microcontroller and that other machine?

And if you're using PPP to communicate between the PC and the microcontroller, what version of what operating system is the PC running?
