Troubleshooting
If a packet doesn't appear in the Wireshark main window, perform the following actions:
- Check the right network interface; make sure there is live traffic
- Try turning off/on promiscuous mode
If no interface appears on which captures can be performed, do the following:
- Check if Wireshark has sufficient rights to use a network card to capture data
- Verify capture privileges from http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/CapturePrivileges
