The Ethereal FAQ at
http://www.ethereal.com/faq.html
is a good place to start.  In particular there are questions under the
"using" section that seem to deal with various problems around why you
can't see traffic (hint, they're not all grouped right together).  A
couple of quick suggestions:

1)  Make sure you are *selecting* the correct adapter in the capture
setup dialogue
2)  Try turning promiscuous mode OFF - this can work for seeing your own
traffic sometimes

I am having some problems after I got the program installed.  The installation went fine and it found the network interface fine.  When I went to capture packets nothing was captured at all.  There werent even any packets captured when i navigated to several different web pages.  I am confused as to why this is happening.  Any suggestions?
