Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] I see no captured packets at all

["Sake Blok" <sake@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Cor,

Most Wireless cards won't work in promiscuous mode under Windows. If you 
untick the "Promiscuous mode" option in the capture setup screen, you will 
probably see traffic. Please note that you will only see traffic to and from 
your own laptop as well as broadcasts.

Hope this helps,  Cheers,


Sake
