Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Finding MAC address

["Sake Blok" <sake@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you trace packets which have been natted by the firewall, you will not be able to see the client mac-address nor the client ip-address in your trace. Either have a look at the nat and/or session table in the firewall to make the match real time or capture the traffic *before* the firewall NATs it.

 

Cheers,

Subject: [Wireshark-users] Finding MAC address

I am monitoring packets that flow between our outer most router and our firewall.  When packets are flowing outbound the source IP address is the firewall.  I would like to know if there is a way to drill down to find the MAC address of the PC that sending out the packets?

 

Thanks,

Mike
