Hi Guy,
Thanks for the response. 
I am new to this utility and hence need information on how to configure the
interface in promiscuous mode.
Any help will be highly appreciated on it.
Thanks,

The only part of that having anything to do with Ethereal (as opposed to
HP-UX) is the "configure into promiscuous mode" part.  By default,
Ethereal will run in promiscuous mode *IF* the network interface
supports it - just make sure the "Capture packets in promiscuous mode"
option is selected.
