 Hello,

A large chunk of Teredo traffic do not use the standard Teredo UDP port 
3544. I've made a patch against Ethereal's SVN trunk to add heuristic 
dissection for Teredo. Because I feared it could catch too much 
traffic, it's disabled by default and can be enabled as a preference as 
some other heuristic dissectors.

If you're looking for sample Teredo packets capture to test with, you 
can find one example there:

Sincerely,
