If you're running Ethereal on your computer, turn off promiscuous mode
when you're doing a capture.

If you're running Ethereal on some other computer, so that you have to
promiscuously sniff the wire to see traffic to and from your computer,
you'd have to set up a capture filter to capture only traffic to or from
your computer's link-layer and/or network-layer address.
