I used to be able sniff traffic on windows xp and server 2003 on PPP/WAN interfaces using wireshark. There used to be a Generic dialup interface, but its seems not to be there on vista/server 2008/7/Server 2008 R2. I did some google but it didnt come up with any results. Have you guys any idea to get it started?

A: 

From what I have gathered, wireshark cannot sniff packets across a dialup (PPP/WAN) interface. In short there is nothing that you can do, I've tried to get it to work but it's only for ethernet/wireless interfaces only.

Hope this helps, Best regards, Tom.

I guess with Linux same WIRESHARK can do it.

Finally i came across Microsoft Network Monitor which supports sniffing WiFi directly on any laptop with Vista or Win7 OS using the new NDIS 6.0 network drivers in the OS. And it works really good and has many more unique features than Wireshark.
