It's a feature.
If you want to see the *absolute* sequence numbers, go to Edit, Preferences, click on "Protocols", and select the TCP protocol. Uncheck the tick mark on "use relative sequence numbers". 

Best regards,

Olivier

Hy, i'm new to this list and i'm using Ethereal in school lab since 3 weeks,
well i don't know for sure, but during a test on what happen when i telnet
to a machine at a port without a service behind (eg 7777) a get i incorrect
SEQ->ACK numbers in visualization, in brief, the request should be:

[snip]

For the 1st packet: 97 18 cd f6
For the second packet: 97 18 cd f7

... And the difference is correctly 1, as ACK should be incremented.
What do you think ? Did i do some mistake, misunderstood, it's a bug ?
