Hello All,


I am  running a trace on a Windows 2000 PC. Ethereal version is  0.10.7. My
problem is that, the trace contains only those entries  where destination
is PC's IP address.
You may update your Ethereal, 0.10.7 is rather old.

In other words, I don't see entries for any requests originating from the
PC.  I am not using any filter options.

Don't know the exact reason, some things you could try:

Updating your WinPcap driver may help here. Ethereal gets the packet data from Winpcap, so if WinPcap doesn't provide them...

It might be a problem with your network card driver.

You may also try to switch on or off Promiscuous mode whichever does better.
