I set the capture string to host ip1, where ip1 is my ip address. Then I run a Server->Client application on a single machine itself, but Ethereal fails to capture anything.I even tried host ip1 and host ip1 but even that didn't work
If I run the server or client on different  machines, then changing the capture string to host ip1 and host ip2 will work without any problems.
