The 3 computers must be all connected to the same router. Hence, "sharin" packets. Use Wireshark and you'll be able to capture packets. Make sure you are connected through a cable to your router, and not via wireless.

  • The computer you would like to sniff must be connected to the router through a network cable. However, the computer you're using to read the packets can be connected to the router either wirelessly or through a network cable (you choose). – ARMAGEDDON Aug 06 '13 at 01:05
