Actually, I am running Ethereal on a different PC, not the same one that's
running WMP.

The reason this is of interest to me is that I would like to use Ethereal to
check my entire network to see which (if any) of my users are listening to
streaming audio and clogging up our Internet connection.  Beyond that, since
I'm new to Protocol Analyzers, I'm trying to understand what I am / should
be seeing with this tool.  Streaming audio seemed like a good example of to
look at in order to learn.

Thanks.

So you're running Ethereal on the same machine that's running WMP?

If so, try running with no filter expression and see if the traffic
shows up (just in case, for example, it's using some multicast IP
address).
