That's odd.

It might be interesting to take a capture, without a filter, using
Ethereal, and then save that capture file and run it through WinDump:

	http://windump.polito.it/

with a filter of "host 192.168.1.3" to see whether it sees any packets
in that capture (run WinDump with the "-r" flag, the argument to which
is the path name of the saved capture file, and with "host 192.168.1.3"
after that path name).

If that works, it's a capture problem of some sort; try capturing with
WinDump and that filter.

If that doesn't work, it's a filter problem of some sort; if you could
send me a capture, I can try to debug the filter problem.
