If you're running some version of UNIX, run Ethereal/Tethereal with the
TZ environment variable set to the appropriate value for the time zone
of the machine on which the capture was done (the appropriate value will
depend on both the time zone in question *and* the OS, and release
thereof, you're running).

If you're running some version of Windows, install some version of UNIX
on top of it instead and use the previous solution (unlike UNIX, Windows
doesn't, as far as I know, allow per-process time zone settings).
