I�m capturing with ethereal on Debian without any problem. Unfortunately, at the other end, I only have a windows box. 

Here are the particulars:

Version 0.10.11 (C) 1998-2005 Gerald Combs <gerald@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Compiled with GTK+ 2.4.14, with GLib 2.4.7, with WinPcap (WinPcap_3_1_beta4-1), 

with libz 1.2.2, with libpcre 4.4, with Net-SNMP 5.1.2, with ADNS.
Running with WinPcap version 3.1 beta4 (packet.dll version 3, 1, 0, 24), based on libpcap version 0.8.3 on Windows XP Service Pack 2, build 2600.
While I�m still looking for this answer, I figured I�d drop a message here too. 

Why is ethereal on widows only capturing �1� (one) packet?


I'm not sure why it only captures one packet.
However, I've done some "critical" bug fixes regarding the capturing engine in the 0.10.12 release, could you try this version please. 

I think it's very likely that it'll fix the bug you describe.
