I have a wireless laptop with Wireshark on it and an IPod on the same
network. Both my laptop and the IPod use the same NetGear wireless
device for the default gateway. When I start sniffing on my wireless
adapter, the only packets I see coming/going from/to the IPod are
multicasts from the IPod, I don't see any traffic to/from the Netgear
device or to/from the Internet.
Why is it that I am unable to see all the traffic to/from the IPod device? 

thanks
