I have a program on one computer that is sending multicast packets. I can see the packets in Wireshark on that same computer, and on a different computer while in Linux, but not while in Windows (it's dual-boot). The sending computer is wired into a router. The receiving computer is wireless. I'm using the same wireless NIC in both Linux and Windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated! asked 08 Aug '11, 10:00  bch36 |
One Answer:
Thank you, multipleinterfaces. That was exactly the problem. Just for future people searching: there was actually no problem with the packets being transferred, I simply had to use Microsoft Network Monitor to see them. The link posted by multipleinterfaces goes into more detail, but long story short, on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 machine, Wireshark cannot capture packets in monitor mode, which was apparently what I needed to do. answered 09 Aug '11, 13:03 bch36 |
Is the capturing computer (Windows) wireless? If so, have you checked out this answer?
