I've posted a question about this in the Wireshark mailing list, but no replies. I'm in a wireless LAN, so this puzzles me.

You have to put your wireless card in "monitoring" mode and then you can
sniff packets coming from other peers of the WLAN. I think there was
something on the topic at aircrack-ng's wiki. Check this link:
http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=faq
paste from above link:
"Under Linux, simply setup the card in monitor mode with the airmon-ng
<http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=airmon-ng> script. Under
Windows, Wireshark can capture 802.11 packets using AirPcap
<http://www.cacetech.com/products/airpcap.htm>. Except in very rare
cases, Ethereal cannot capture 802.11 packets under Windows."
