Wireshark capturing only incoming traffic on Windows 7

0

Wireshark capturing only incoming traffic. For example, when i ping a site I only see the reply packets. Wireshark version is 1.8.6 running on a windows 7 x64 OS and WinCap is version 4.1.2. I uninstalled wireshark and also cleaned the registry and still having the same issue. Not really sure that it's the NIC because I have both Microsoft Network Monitor 3.4 and OmniPeek and both capture incoming and outgoing traffic OK.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

One cause of this can be VPN software installed on your machine.
