Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Capture Filter

This is a blind attempt to capture traffic to/from an IP address. Is there a less obtrusive alternative to capturing this traffic than infiltrating the internal infrastructure? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Guy Harris" <guy@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

I am pretty sure that I have my capture filter set right - but
obviously not. I want to capture all traffic to a particular IP

all source/dst traffic

If you're capturing on Ethernet, make sure all the machines from which
you want to capture are plugged into a hub rather than a switch, or
that they're plugged into a switch with support for a "monitor port"
and plug your machine into that port, and run in promiscuous mode:
