Ah, OK, thank you. 
So if I want to track the complete network traffic in my network, I need on both a running Wireshark on monitor / 
promiscuous mode.

Hi Frank,

No, your router will be behaving like a switch and will not send all packets
to all machines. Therefore you will not see the packets in this setup.

You might want to have a look on the wireshark wiki pages. Here is a good
link.

Subject: [Wireshark-users] Basic question about Wireshark


Hello,

I am just a wireshark beginner and don't know basic things. I have this
question:

When I sniff a Wireless Network, will I be able to sniff packets of the
same network but sent not wireless but by cable (LAN)?
Vice versa, when I sniff with my LAN Network adapter will I see wireless
packets in the same network?

I have a router with wireless and LAN. I have connected my laptop with
wireless and my PC with cable in the same network.
I want to see the data of each other with Wireshark. Is this possible?

Thank you for clarification.

franc
