You presumably can connect to the Internet on some machine, as you were able to post this question. :-)

Try downloading the Windows installer for Wireshark on that machine, or some other machine with Internet access, but save it rather than trying to run it. Then copy it to the machine on which you want to install it, and run it on that machine.

If you want to capture traffic of other virtual machines in one VM (win2003), you must enable promiscuous mode on the vswitch and/or portgroup.

@sand: I converted your answer to a comment, as that's how this Q&A site works. See the FAQ.

O.K. let's try to refine your problem description.

What do you mean exactly, if you say: "still unable to see the network connectivity"?

What are you trying to do? Is it what I assume in my answer, capturing traffic of other VMs in the Win2003 VM? If yes, do you get any error message while you are trying to capture traffic on Win2003?

I have not started to capture the traffic yet as i have not been able to install wireshark on the server 2003 desktop.Basically,i am looking for a way to download wireshark either via internet ( which i am unable to connect to ) or some other way.

Regards Sandeep
