I setup the Windows and Solaris 9 in same VLAN group, then using the HP advisor to capture packet between the Gigabit switch and Solaris machine, I can see the VLAN packet from HP advisor, but not in ethereal.

So is Agilent Advisor (Carly sold the network analysis stuff as part of Agilent) running on the same Windows machine as Ethereal is?

If so, you should try running WinDump:

on the same device as you ran Ethereal and, if it doesn't see the VLAN packets, you should report this to the WinPcap developers:

as it's a WinPcap issue.
