not recieving http traffic from other computers

0

Hi I am trying to run Wireshark on my home network to see traffic from several of my computers. I am running Wireshark on my laptop which is running Ubuntu 10.10, has a broadcom 43224 wireless adapter with b43 driver installed.

My home network has WPA+WPA2 security mode.

When I start capture in promiscuous mode I only get http traffic from my own laptop and not the other computers (that are also connected over wireless). I do get other protocols which seem to be just for broadcasting from the other computers.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Have you looked at the Wiki pages on Capture setup and Wireless capture?

Hi I have checked these out but can't find anything to help. Under Step 4: Capture traffic destined for machines other than your own I seem to meet all the requirements to do this
