I assume Wireshark is running on the PC.

So are you using PPP to communicate between the microcontroller and  
the PC (so that the serial port is being used as a network  
connection), or are you using PPP to communicate between the  
microcontroller and some other machine, with the PC being used to  
passively capture PPP packets going between the microcontroller and  
that other machine?

And if you're using PPP to communicate between the PC and the  
microcontroller, what version of what operating system is the PC  
running?
