Yes:
But without more information i can only guess:
A) You are on a switched LAN:
You see only Layer-2 Broadcasts and Multicasts:
including:
ARPS, DHCP, OSPF(IP), Squid ICP(UDP), IPX Broadcasts, IGMP, CDP,
(TCP can't be used for Multicast Transmissions)
B) You are the "only" station in a quiet network
you see your own traffic:
including:
IPX: netware emulator
UDP: DNS queries
In both cases you would see TCP flows, if your own station would have an active
TCP socket. (Try using a web-browser while capturing packets)
