I figured as much, I wanted to
(a) verify that
(b) see if anyone had seen similar results
(c) see if anyone had any troubleshooting ideas
(d) see if there is a resolution, assuming it wasn't just a "I BROKE IT"
And, after trying WinDump out I got:
windump: listening on\Device\Packet_{D5A7CCF8-92D2-4C2C-AD15-A3F0ADC29D65}
windump: Error opening adapter: The system cannot open the file.
SO ... I tried installing winpcap 2.2 beta ...
To no avail.
So, it is a "feature" in WinXP ... damnit.
Any additional input gladly accepted ...
Thanks!
TJ

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.
