Hello, I installed last few versions of wireshark/ethereal under Win7 profesional. I have problem with capturing. There are not possible capture packets from modem "PPP" or from modem Broadband like wifi adapter. I have only one adapter for capturing - LAN. I have Win XP too, but there are is possible capture both. Thanks asked 30 May '11, 02:49  stando edited 25 Jun '11, 22:16  Guy Harris ♦♦ |
One Answer:
Wireshark uses WinPcap for traffic capture on Windows, just as it uses libpcap on UN*X. Question Q-5 in the WinPcap FAQ says that WinPcap supports PPP devices in Windows up to Windows XP, but doesn't support it in WIndows Vista or Windows 7. Question Q-16 says that support for Wi-Fi devices is limited. answered 31 May '11, 00:10 Guy Harris ♦♦ It is annoying :-( Is there any other solution? (09 Jun '11, 00:46) stando Use Network Monitor?

Which Version of Wireshark did you install ? Developer?
Also, what do you mean by capturing? Do you wanna capture in monitor mode of WLAN? Regards, Amin
