Wireshark running on Windows or Wireshark-for-Linux running under WSL?
WSL 1 or WSL 2?

The Wireshark is running on windows.
WSL1

So which network are you trying to trace?  Are you saying you're not seeing any network traffic (whether it involves WSL or not), or just not seeing any network traffic from WSL programs?

I can't trace any networks at all 
for example, when I run the "ping google.com" command, I can't see any activity I'm my Wireshark application

  1. Which WSL image? (located in /etc/os-release and/or /etc/lsb-release)
  2. Which Wireshark? (full output from wireshark -v or Help->About Wireshark)
  3. You can successfully ping google.com from a windows command prompt? (so DNS and plumbing ok)
  4. You can successfully ping google.com from a WSL prompt? (so DNS and plumbing ok)
