No one else is seeing this behaviour in ethereal on NT except me?

Summary:
When capturing packets in non-promiscuous mode, all ethereal captures are received packets and not sent packets. ( e.g.: only echo reply ) When capturing packets in promiscuous mode, both sent and received packets are captured. ( .e.g: both echo request and echo reply )


Thanks,

John Salvo

I have been using ethereal on my linux box, and have also been using ethereal on my nt installation.

I noticed that if I tell etheral to start capturing packets, but disabled promiscuous mode, it does not capture packets that my host sent. For example, if I ping, I only get echo replies on ethereal. If I recapture packets, but enable promiscuous mode, it then shows both echo requests and echo replies.

I noticed this behaviour only on the etheral-NT. ethereal on linux is okay.

Using 0.8.14 in both linux and NT.
