Hi Pedro,
I do all my development in VMware
Workstation, and run Wireshark almost constantly. I’ve used it with
virtual NICs and with USB NICs plugged into the host (bridged to the VM) and
USB NICs plugged into the VM directly.
Also WinXP SP2, by the way.
I’ll sometimes have two Wiresharks
running, capturing different NICs (e.g., on both sides of a firewall).
What do you see if you do IPCONFIG /all in
a command window, and what do you see in Wireshark’s Capture | Interfaces
menu? (that’s the only annoyance I’ve seen with Wireshark on
VMware - all the NICs are described the same way as “VMware Accelerated
AMD PCNet Adapter (Microsoft’s Packet Scheduler)” - just go by the
IP address column to select which NIC you want, or press the Details button -
that will show the MAC address amongst other information.

Subject: [Wireshark-users] Does
wireshark works under VMWare?
Hello all,
I tried to run wireshark on two windows xp professional SP 2 guest machines on
a vmware server and wireshark open up and close without any prompt, error
message, etc.
I did not find any documentation on the website stating if wireshark has any
issue to work under vmware.
Any advice on this issue? At least get the error message, etc. Does anyone run
wireshark under vmware?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Pedro.
