Hello Harris,

Thanks so much for your response.

The network adapter that I am capturing is ' Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit
Ethernet Driver '.

I  have to verify your questions on 'Switched Network'.  I am almost sure
it is a switched network here,

But I get all the 'to and from' packets on my PC which is a windows 2000
and Intel 8255x-based Integrated Fast Ethernet. I am on a different network
too.

Do you have any other thoughts to add on why  'source' packets are missing
on 'Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Driver'.

Many Thanks for any inputs !

What type of network adapter are you capturing on?

If it's an Ethernet adapter, you might be on a switched network, in
which case the only surprise would be that you're not seeing traffic
whose *source* is the PC's IP address; see

 http://www.ethereal.com/faq#q5.1

If it's an 802.11 adapter, this might just be a result of 802.11 drivers
that aren't particularly friendly towards packet capture:

Some Ethernet drivers might have that problem, too.
