I’m capturing with ethereal on Debian without any problem. Unfortunately, at the other end, I only have a windows box. 

Here are the particulars:

Version 0.10.11 (C) 1998-2005 Gerald Combs <gerald@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Compiled with GTK+ 2.4.14, with GLib 2.4.7, with WinPcap (WinPcap_3_1_beta4-1), 

with libz 1.2.2, with libpcre 4.4, with Net-SNMP 5.1.2, with ADNS.
Running with WinPcap version 3.1 beta4 (packet.dll version 3, 1, 0, 24), based on libpcap version 0.8.3 on Windows XP Service Pack 2, build 2600.
While I’m still looking for this answer, I figured I’d drop a message here too. 

Why is ethereal on widows only capturing “1” (one) packet?


I'm not sure why it only captures one packet.
However, I've done some "critical" bug fixes regarding the capturing engine in the 0.10.12 release, could you try this version please. 

I think it's very likely that it'll fix the bug you describe.
