Hi Terry, As I recall (it's a while since I used either) wireshark is itself built on top of a CLI tool tcpdump <https://linux.die.net/man/8/tcpdump> which I imagine you should be able to install on a Pi on your network. It has a raft full of more options than you ever thought you migh tneed and the trick will be narrowing down what it captures to what you are interested in. Simply saying $ tcpdump host 192.168.0.253 should show you what's happening.
