Problem

I have Wireshark started, then I an IP address. But Wireshark is not picking up any packet sending to or receiving (echoing) from the destination address. Why? Is "protected" from being sniffed?

Low Risk

Make sure you aren't filtering the results - ensure wireshark is capturing and displaying everything not just IP or TCP (ICMP is a different protocol - Ensure you are looking at the correct network interface
