Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] want to capture PPP packets over RS232 Line.

Hi,

I assume you're running Windows on that PC? Then you'll have to define a direct 
cable connection in the network settings. There you configure the network and 
PPP connection parameters as well as the serial port settings.

Thanx,
Jaap
