No. Ethereal generates very few protocols (DNS, NIS, and/or NetBIOS Name Service, if it's translating IP addresses to host names or vice versa; NFS/SMB/etc. if it's accessing files from a file server or is itself being run from a file server).

(Although I suppose if the file server is an AFS server then running Ethereal could generate RX traffic; you're probably not using AFS for Windows, however:
