Hi Mark,

it seems, that your Ethereal is not running in promiscuous mode. Since
Ethereal 0.8.18, promiscuous mode is not set by default.
So enable promiscuous mode checkbox in the window 'Capture Preferences'
(Menu 'Capture' --> 'Start') and try it again.

For detailed information please follow the threads in the ethereal-user
mailing list some days before (subjects with 'promiscuous mode')

greetings
