Wireshark · Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Leopard and AirPort, only my own packets

[Marco De Vitis <starless@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I'm doing some tests on my own wifi network, which is protected using 
WPA Personal.

I have a Windows notebook and a MacBook running OSX 10.5.5. I want to 
try running Wireshark on the MacBook for sniffing traffic happening from 
the Win machine.

I connect both machines to the network, then start Wireshark on the Mac 
(the binary download for Intel machines on the official Wireshark web 
site, installed as the docs recommend), start capturing in promiscuous 
mode, and then try doing something on the Win machine, like browsing the 
web or downloading mail, but this activity is not logged: I can only see 
traffic from the MacBook itself.

I've read related docs in the wiki a couple of times, and I'm a bit 
confused now. As far as I understand, it should all work fine with my 
setup. Am I wrong? Am I missing anything?

Thanks.
