Are you trying to capture packets being sent by the machine running
Ethereal and packets being sent to that machine, or are you trying to
capture packets being sent between two *other* machines?

If you're trying to capture packets being sent between two other
machines, see:

	http://www.ethereal.com/faq.html#q5.1

If you're trying to capture packets being sent by the machine running
Ethereal and packets being sent to the machine running Ethereal, you
should try capturing with WinDump:

If you still don't see any packets, this is a problem with WinPcap; you
should report it to the developers of WinPcap - see the page at

	http://winpcap.polito.it/contact.htm

for instructions on how to do so.
