Dear Gurus

I have tried to capture traffic on my PC between a HTTP server also running
on my PC
and my browser without success.
Ethereal works fine for capturing internet data via the filter "tcp port 80"
on interface: \Device\NPF_GenericNdisWanAdapter.

However on my local setup I access the server via http://localhost:5000
and have not captured anything using capture filters like:
tcp port 5000
host 127.0.01
host 192.168.0.1

My questions are:
Can local traffic be captured?
If so, what capture filter do I use?

Thanks
Maurice
