I'm developing a packet sniffer program that captures the packets going through a system using protocols(TCP,UDP,HTTP). The packet sniffer program will run on a system and captures the packets on another system using the other system's ip address. I'm successfully capturing the packets on my own system but I want to capture the packets on another system. Can someone help me with this issue.??

This is the code I have used to capture the packet on the interfaces on my system. So I'm using two systems to communicate and capture but I'm not successful.!!
