["Maynard, Chris" <Christopher.Maynard@xxxxxxxxx>]

Have you tried the “net <network>/<len>” capture filter primitive or its variants?  (see “man pcap-filter” for more details.)

Or if none of those work, you could try temporarily changing your adaptor’s netmask.

 

BTW, I hope you don’t intend to use Wireshark for long-term capturing.  You might want to look at dumpcap for this if you haven’t already.

Dear Sake,

     I check it also and that's not the issue .....

I think that  the pcap / winpcap filter works only if the packets source or destination ip is in the ethernet inteface subnet range. If it isn't the pcap will discard it without checking it's content.  Could be ?

 

Regards,

Marco
