I am running rpcapd on my router.  I have two PCs off this router that I
want to capture the data remotely.  Both PCs can capture this remote data
using Analyzer or WinDump without problem, however, one PC will not capture
any remote packets using Ethereal (however it is able to capture local
adapter packets fine).

Here is the configuration of each computer:

PC 1 (Works Fine with everything):
Windows XP SP1
Ethereal 0.10.7
WinPCap 3.0 alpha3

PC 2 (Works Fine with everything EXCEPT Ethereal using rpcap):
Windows XP SP2
Ethereal 0.10.7
WinPCap 3.1 beta 4

I have tried downgrading PC 2 to WinPCap 3.0, but that didn't have any
effect.  I also have Windows SP2 firewall disabled.  Also, as I stated, I am
able to use rpcap on PC 2 with other programs fine (such as Analyzer and
WinDump).

Anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks.
Chris
