If by "log events based on GMT" you mean "log packets to a capture file
and have the packet time stamps in the capture file be in GMT", the way
you do that is to run Ethereal - time stamps in libpcap capture files
are in GMT.

If you want Ethereal to *display* them in GMT, that's relatively easy in
UN*X, as per Justin Walker's message, but I have no idea how to make it
do so in Windows.
