Hello Brenda,
I have the wireshark analyzer installed on my laptop, when I start
to capture interface packets, It shows me my entire network/subnet
desktop packets, which are not belongs to my ip also.
My pc ip is 10.173.202.34 but you can see the other desktop traffic
also. Can you please help me why this is happening?
What type of network are you on?
Wireshark turns on "promiscuous mode" by default, which means that if
it's a "broadcast" network, such as a (non-switched) Ethernet or a
(non-password-protected-and-encrypted) 802.11 network, you'll see all
packets on the network, not just broadcast packets, multicast packets,
and unicast packets sent to or from your machine.
