FYI

(JPG screenshot of capture dialog removed)

Maybe we should remove the default capture filter.

I'm not including the response I got to my previous post, as I didn't
receive the email (I'm not a list member). 
I've found the cause for the problem. It doesn't have anything to do with
name resolution of any kind. Whenever I start a capture, I have a default
capture filter "not ip host localhost" (see attached image). If I turn the
"Update list of packets in real time" option with this capture filter
enabled, the phenomenon I described in my previous email occurs. If I remove
this capture filter, everything works fine.
I have no idea where this filter capture comes from. I wasn't able to get
rid of it. Uninstalling and installing Ethereal and WinPcap 3.0 haven't
helped.
When I install Ethereal 0.10.2 on another Win2K machine, the abovementioned
default capture filter doesn't ever appear, and there is no problem. If I
turn the "Update list of packets in real time" option on this machine with
the problematic capture filter, I see the same problem.
Any help in getting rid of this default capture filter will be highly
appreciated... 
Thanks, 
Yuval
