Those messages are both warnings, and are the result of your current
locale (as specified by the LANG environment variable, or by one or more
of LC_ALL/LC_COLLATE/LC_CTYPE/LC_MESSAGES/LC_MONETARY/LC_NUMERIC/LC_TIME
if you've set those rather than just setting LANG) somehow not being
supported by X11.
They're probably not the problem (and probably have nothing to do with
PPP vs. a local LAN, although they *might* have something to do with the
machine you're logging in to).
If you run Ethereal from the command line and do *not* background it
with "&", does it print any other messages, and does it exit (so that
you get a shell prompt) or does it just continue to run even though it
doesn't display anything?
If Ethereal just continues to run (i.e., you start it without "&", and
you don't get a shell prompt back), is there any software on Windows
that can give a running display statistics on the number of packets
going over the PPP link? If so, does it indicate that there's traffic
on the PPP link while Ethereal is running (which means it might be
setting up its display window; wait a while and see if it eventually
finishes), or does it indicate that there's no traffic (which means
there's probably some other problem)?

Do you see those messages if you Telnet to the server from another
machine on your LAN?
If so, then:
If you're logged into the server you access via PPP, what does
the command
env
print?
If you're logged into the server you access over the LAN, what
does the command
env
print?
