Wireshark sniff msn question

Sick_Boy · 11-08-2007, 10:17 AM

When I start listening my eth0 and set filter to "msnms contains "text/plain"" all I can sniff is my own conversations.
What should I do to sniff the whole lan?

promiscuous mode is on btw. it's a wired lan with a router and a switch maybe. does it matter?

Have you read the LQ Rules? http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/rules.html

So if you are asking how to sniff other people's (private) traffic, you will not get help here

Sorry I just wanted to show why we should read the rules before posting.

My bad.
