I am using tshark 1.4.6 on an Ubuntu server to capture traffic on my network.
Once the traffic is captured, I transfer the -w file output to my workstation,
where I then import it to Wireshark version 1.6.2. The issue I have noticed is
that if I do a capture on a single interface, everything looks normal, If i do
a capture using -i any I get a pile of IPX traffic, in which the source in the
Linux Cooked Capture may or may not have a mac address that is a device
registered to my network, but in the Internetwork Packet Exchange, neither the
source or destination mac addresses are registered to my network. They are BOTH
machines that I do not have in my network at all. I posted this question on a
fourm, and they suggested that I open a bug report to see if it was an issue in
Wireshark.

Thanks you for you Time and Help.
