Not sure exactly what you want - but if you really are starting from ground level on network protocols you really need to get into books such as listed here http://vig.prenhall.com/catalog/academic/course/0,4095,720,00.html .
 
Of course there are the RFCs which define internet protocols (www.ietf.org), and online and hardcopy publications from vendors such as Cisco, IBM, Microsoft and even HP!
  
Of course you could start by turning ethereal on, start capturing, ping your neighbour, fire up your web browser or mail applications and see what ethereal makes of it. Nothing learning by observation.

I´m new with ethereal and with protocols.

I would like to have some sites to understand more the protocols in the context of ethereal.

A good place for an overview of how protocols fit together is <http://www.protocols.com>. It's provided by a commercial operation, and a number of links lead to their product site, but the information seems good.

Regards,

Justin
