I have a solaris machine
"uname -a" gives the following
SunOS usunnad01 5.8 Generic_108528-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraAX-i2

The ethereal binary which i am using is
"ethereal-0.9.6-solaris2.8-sparc-local"

In the capture window, only one interface is shown i.e "dmfe0"
Hence i use it.

I send TCP packets from the same machine to the same machine on which
ethereal is running.

However, ethereal fails to capture these packets.

What may be the reason ?

Also where can I get the latest ethereal on solaris binaries ?

Thanks
