Hi I have a PC with Wireshark installed, the program starts and runs OK but only sees a few IP addresses on the network - there are 1000 public & private IP addresses. Am I missing something fundamental? asked 12 Jan '12, 11:55  stevewarden0 |

Yep: :) Undoubtedly, your PC is on a switch which will send to your PC only packets addressed to your PC (and also broadcasts). For more info see: answered 12 Jan '12, 12:05  Bill Meier ♦♦ edited 12 Jan '12, 12:10 |
You are probably behind a switch of some sort within your network. You should read the Capture Setup article on the Wireshark wiki; specifically try to understand the Switched Ethernet section. Additionally, you may want to look at the Wireshark User's Guide for more information. answered 12 Jan '12, 12:08  multipleinte... |
