Hi.
Are you using the latest version of WinPcap (3.1 final) on both the
machines?
If not, and you are using some personal firewall/antivirus software on your
machine, you could have problems capturing the traffic originated by your PC
because of a bug in WinPcap that has been fixed in WinPcap 3.1.
Have a nice day
GV

I.e., the network adapter on your Windows 2000 PC - the machine running
Ethereal - is a Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet adapter?
But I get all the 'to and from' packets on my PC which is a windows 2000
and Intel 8255x-based Integrated Fast Ethernet. I am on a different
network
too.
I.e., you have *another* PC, which has an Intel 8255x-based Ethernet
adapter, and on *that* PC you see traffic being sent by that PC, as well
as traffic being sent to that PC?
Do you have any other thoughts to add on why 'source' packets are
missing
on 'Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Driver'.
If:
when you run Ethereal on the PC with the 8255x-based adapter, you see
traffic to and from the PC;
when you run Ethereal on the PC with the Broadcom NetXtreme adapter, you
see traffic to the PC but not from the PC;
then the problem is probably with the adapter or its driver - it might not
be supplying transmitted packets in promiscuous mode. Try capturing with
promiscuous mode turned off. If *that* doesn't work, the driver is
probably not even supplying them in "all local packets" mode.
