Please help! When I set my laptop to Obtain an IP address automatically IPconfig shows different IP address than Wireshark. Why is that? Thank you Regards Mehran asked 18 Mar '16, 04:07  Mehran |
One Answer:
This is an automatic configured IPv4 address, used as fallback when no DHCP lease can be obtained and no fixed IP address is configured. Wireshark does not show any IP address of your device it does not have. answered 18 Mar '16, 09:23  Jaap ♦ |
which leads to the question what exactly does @Mehran mean by "IP address shown by Wireshark". Mehran, can you be more precise?
