Is the display attached to the machine running Solaris, or is the 
display attached to a desktop machine, perhaps not running Solaris, with 
the Solaris machine perhaps being headless and connecting to your 
desktop machine over the network?

If the Solaris machine *is* your desktop machine, then:

	If you're running Ethereal as root, make sure that root is authorized 
to connect to the X server.

If the Solaris machine *isn't* your desktop machine, then:

	Make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is set appropriately on 
the Solaris machine - it should probably be set to {hostname}:0, where 
{hostname} is the host name of your desktop machine.

	Make sure that host is allowed to connect to your X server (e.g., by 
using the "xhost" command on your desktop machine, if it's running UN*X).
