I asked this here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15259602/why-am-i-seeing-no-conversations-between-my-desktop-and-my-handheld-apps-with-wi Basically: my handheld device (the app in question is a Windows CE/Compact Framework .Net 1.1 C# app) is physically attached to my desktop via usb cable; on the desktop, a "server" app (Windows Forms, .NET 4) is running. They communicate with each other, but Wireshark seems to be oblivious to this (no packets passed to or from the handheld device are shown). Why would that be? What must I do to get Wireshark to recognize the handheld? To get the IP addresses so that I can filter on them in the capture, I used the old "ipconfig" trick at the command prompt (on both the desktop machine and the handheld device). I see traffic to and from the desktop's IP address, but nothing to/from the handheld device...??? asked 06 Mar '13, 15:05  Clay Shannon |
One Answer:
Wireshark captures data of network interface cards, so I doubt that your USB cable qualifies as valid source for captured data packets - at least on Windows boxes. I don't think Wireshark is the right tool for what you want to do. You probably need some kind of USB communication monitoring tool. answered 06 Mar '13, 15:14  Jasper ♦♦ |
