Title: Message
 I have the latest version of Ethereal and Wincap installed on a WinXP PC to diagnose a ppp dial-up problem (dial-up only, problem doesn't occur when LAN connected).  The list of adapters that Ethereal finds does shows a PPP adapter for POTS dial-in. When I dial-in and start capturing, applications on the PC don't work. For instance, if I try and ping the LAN or vice-versa, the pings fail but the capture log shows the attempt. It is as if ethereal is blocking the packets. Forgive me, as I haven't used ethereal before. I did see something in the FAQ that suggested that this might not work on XP but I just want to clarify.
 
Many thanks,
