I am trying to use Ethereal 0.8.11 on NT 4.0 (or Windows 2000) to capture
TCP packets where the client and the server are both on the same machine
(i.e. the same machine that's running Ethereal). I start my server, start
Ethereal capture (no filters), run my client, then stop the capture. There
are lots of packets captured, but none that have both the source and
destination on this machine.

Is there any way for Ethereal to capture such packets, or am I out of luck?

Thanks
