Wireshark does not see traffic from other devices (VirtualBox)

0

Hello,

I feel like i searched the whole internet and found almost no solution.

I use Wireshark on Backtrack in VirtualBox on a OSX System. But wireshark only sees the traffic from the Backtrack distribution. No traffic from the host itself or my mobile phone.

When I sniff on the same port (eth1) with ettercap I see everything I think.

Virtual Box is configured in Bridge Mode on eth1

Maybe you guys know something about the problem, I read about something with newer Versions of Virtual Box but it didnt work out for me.

Thanks for all the tipps!

So, I am not the only one!

I am running Wireshark in a Virtualbox Windows 7 setup (both host and client). Wireshark on the host side has no trouble seeing GOOSE packets coming through from the tester but from the client side, it only reports SSDP packets - no GOOSE.

My network knowledge is limited to know how to Bridge the packets over to the virtual NIC.

All I had to do was to change the NIC from NAT to Bridged Adapter and Wireshark works on the client side as well. Great!
