I can’t capture data packets from my huawei 3G modem using Wireshark

0

Hi,

I'm trying to capture some traffic from my PC, which is connected to a Huawei 3g modem model e220, but I don't see any traffic. Is there a way to get the packet data using Wireshark?

Thank you in advance.

I forgot to say, I'm using windows xp which has the modem connected to it and windows server 2003 on another pc which is connected on to the LAN.

Unfortunately, WinPcap doesn't support capturing on PPP interfaces - which "cell phone" modems tend to be - on Windows, as this item in the WinPcap FAQ says.
