Cannot capture packet transfer between other PCs

0

HI I have installed wireshark in a PC (lets say PC-A). PC-A, PC-B and PC-C are all connected through an ethernet switch. When i run wireshark, it shows capture of packets from/to PC-A only. it does not capture interactions between PC-B and PC-C. Is there any way i can capture this by wireshark? Please do help.

You have to look into your capture setup.

Hi, Due to the switch A will not "see" packets between B and C. See http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/Ethernet
