How to capture in promiscuous mode(behind NAT)?

0

I would like to capture packets that are sent to a someone behind the same router(there is just two of ous). I checked Capture packets in promiscuous mode in Capture options, but only thing I capture is some ARPs. What more do I need do to sniff from someone behind same router.

Your router is probably also a switch, so you will normally only see broadcast traffic and traffic to and from your PC. See Ethernet capture setup on the Wireshark wiki for a more detailed explanation and for suggestions on how to get around this.
