I am new to wireshark and I am trying to capture an ICMP packet over 802.11g, I am using windows and pingplotter. The issue is that on wireshark capture I am not getting any ICMP packets no matter how much I try. I know there has to be something I messed up in the settings because HTTP and any ipv4 are not being captured/or displayed but I cannot figure out how to fix this. Thank you for any hints

@Garrett yes I made sure what interface I am using and its on the same computer, @Daniel B the only way to filter that I know of is the display filter and it is cleared, eventually I got tired and downloaded pinglotter and wireshark on another PC and it worked fine I could see ICMP packets, guess we'll never know what the problem was! Thank you anyway

    Simply capture without a filter. You can always filter in the results window afterwards. If you don't have to sift through extreme amounts of traffic, that's acceptable.

    Are you sure that this traffic is going through your 802.11g NIC? Is the traffic being generated from the computer with this NIC installed or another computer?
