Dear Administrator,

I met a problem on using ethereal 0.98, that is, I can see nothing when assigning whatever
capture filter,  such as "tcp", "tcp port 80" and the like, nevertheless, if no filter is
assigned, I can get all packets on the network. I made sure my filter condition was
correct and no spell-error. 

My computer: AMD Duron 800M, 256M SDRAM, Alcatel ADSL MODEM, Realtek 8029. (PPP over
ethernet).

PS:  I can but choose realtek device to capture other than PPP device(if choosing this
one, I can't capture any packets even if no filter and network lose connection.), why?

Thank you.

Cheers 
Joseph
