Before concluding that Ethereal is involved, try using WinDump:

	http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/windump/

If that also fails to capture on any interfaces, then the problem is
probably that WinPcap disagrees with Windows NT 5.1^H^H^H^H^H^HXP, not
that Ethereal disagrees with WinPcap.  Microsoft may well have yet again
"improved" some part of the networking code in such a way as to cause
WinPcap to fail.
