Thanks  a lot  !

All your assumptions were just right !  The if - then explanation was very
clear !

>From your notes, it seems that problems is with the driver or adapter.
I have to try the promiscuous mode options.

Thanks again for your time and help,

I.e., the network adapter on your Windows 2000 PC - the machine running
Ethereal - is a Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet adapter?

I.e., you have *another* PC, which has an Intel 8255x-based Ethernet
adapter, and on *that* PC you see traffic being sent by that PC, as well
as traffic being sent to that PC?

If:

 when you run Ethereal on the PC with the 8255x-based adapter, you see
traffic to and from the PC;

 when you run Ethereal on the PC with the Broadcom NetXtreme adapter,
you see traffic to the PC but not from the PC;

then the problem is probably with the adapter or its driver - it might
not be supplying transmitted packets in promiscuous mode.  Try capturing
with promiscuous mode turned off.  If *that* doesn't work, the driver is
probably not even supplying them in "all local packets" mode.
