Guy,

Excellent!! It worked !! I downloaded libpcap 0.7.1 source; built it with
bpf and then built ethereal 0.9.4 using libpcap 0.7.1 and hurray - ethereal
can capture outgoing packets as well.

Next time when you are in hongkong, drop me a mail and we will celebrate
this together !!

Thanks a lot,
Anand
