I'm Nozomi Sawayama.

I hava a question about Ethereal.
Could you response any advice?


<Question>
In order to analyse a trouble with a client/server http connection, 
I'm running Ethereal on ClientPC(Windows) and Web-Server(Unix);

When I try to capture traffic on Web-Server,
why am I not seeing any TCP packets about an interrupted connection between
Client-PC and  Web-Server,
although I can see TCP packets (see below) on Client-PC?


<Environment>
 ・Client-PC
  OS        Windows 2000 
  Ethereal 0.10.14
   Filter Option   -f tcp port 80 and host 11.226.108.60

・Web-Server
  OS        Solaris
  Ethereal 0.9.16 (ethereal-0.9.16-solaris2.9-sparc-loca)
  Filter Option    -f "tcp port 80"


<TCP packets on Client-PC>
・Communication is interrupted by RST flag(No.278)

     No.     Time                       Source                Destination
