The README.hpux file that comes with the Ethereal source code describes
this as one problem that can be seen when capturing packets on HP-UX
(regardless of what program you're using, whether it's tcpdump,
Ethereal, etc.); it gives instructions, taken from some
"comp.sys.hp.hpux" postings - the patch names may not be the correct
current ones, you'd have to ask HP what the right patches are.

Here's the section from README.hpux:

5 - HP-UX patches to fix packet capture problems

Note that packet-capture programs such as Ethereal/Tethereal or tcpdump
may, on HP-UX, not be able to see packets sent from the machine on which
they're running.  Some articles on Deja.com discussing this are:

   Two things:
   1. You do need a late "LAN products cumulative patch" (e.g.  PHNE_18173
  for   s700/10.20).
   2. You must use
echo 'lanc_outbound_promisc_flag/W1' | /usr/bin/adb -w /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
     You can insert this e.g. into /sbin/init.d/lan

  What you are seeing is expected, un-patched, behaviour for an HP-UX
  system.  On 11.00, you need to install the latest lancommon/DLPI
  patches, and then the latest driver patch for the interface(s) in use. 
  At that point, a miracle happens and you should start seeing outbound
  traffic.

[That article also mentions the patch that appears below.]

  Thanks a lot.  I have this problem on several machines running HPUX
  10.20 and 11.00.  The machines where patched up before y2k so did not
  know what to think.  Anyway I have now installed PHNE_19766,
  PHNE_19826, PHNE_20008, PHNE_20735 on the C200 and now I can see the
  outbound traffic too.  Thanks again.

Another posting:

indicates that you need to install the optional STREAMS product to do
captures on HP-UX 9.x:

  I'm reasonably confident that any port of tcpdump to 9.X would require
  the (then optional) STREAMS product.  This would bring DLPI, which is
  what one uses to access interfaces in promiscuous mode.
  
  I'm not sure that HP even sells the 9.X STREAMS product any longer,
  since HP-UX 9.X is off the pricelist (well, maybe 9.10 for the old 68K
  devices). 
  
  Your best bet is to be up on 10.20 or better if that is at all
  possible.  If your hardware is supported by it, I'd go with HP-UX 11. 
  If you want to see the system's own outbound traffic, you'll never get
  that functionality on 9.X, but it might happen at some point for 10.20
  and 11.X.

(as per other messages cited here, the ability to see the system's own
outbound traffic did happen).

An additional note, from Jost Martin, for HP-UX 10.20:

	Q: How do I get ethereral on HPUX to capture the _outgoing_ packets
	   of an interface
	A: You need to get PHNE_20892,PHNE_20725 and PHCO_10947 (or
	   newer, this is as of 4.4.00) and its dependencies.  Then you can
	   enable the feature as descibed below:

	Patch Name: PHNE_20892
	Patch Description: s700 10.20 PCI 100Base-T cumulative patch
		To trace the outbound packets, please do the following
		to turn on a global promiscuous switch before running
		the promiscuous applications like snoop or tcpdump:

		adb -w /stand/vmunix /dev/mem
		lanc_outbound_promisc_flag/W 1
		(adb will echo the result showing that the flag has
		been changed)
		$quit
	(Thanks for this part to HP-support, Ratingen)

		The attached hack does this and some security-related stuff
	(thanks to hildeb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Ralf Hildebrandt) who
	posted the security-part some time ago)

		 <<hack_ip_stack>> 

		(Don't switch IP-forwarding off, if you need it !)
		Install the hack as /sbin/init.d/hacl_ip_stack (adjust
	permissions !) and make a sequencing-symlink
	/sbin/rc2.d/S350hack_ip_stack pointing to this script. 
		Now all this is done on every reboot.
