Hi,

That information was very useful.
I have enabled Loopback Adapter on my machine. I started Ethereal and selected the Loopback adapter and started the capture without setting any filters. I performed a ping on my own machine but noticed that nothing was being captured. Am I missing something?

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.
