If you are connected to a regular switch and do nothing else in general you will just see broadcast and multicast packets from other computers. Refer to http://www.wireshark.org/faq.html#q7.1 for more info.

I must have made a simple mistake or am misunderstanding something.

 

I did a capture from a computer on a typical TCP/IP switched Network.

 

When I look at the data, several computers on the network appear, but they either have packets leaving them or packets arriving at them, but not one computer, including the one I ran the capture on, show packets leaving and arriving from/to them ?

 

Is there something in my capture preferences that would cause that ? I don't think I have any filters set. Or am I misunderstanding TCP ?
