[Ethereal-users] Trouble capturing packets

["Aaron Hicks" <zerodega@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hello, I could use a little help getting ethereal to capture packets on
my local wireless network

we've got it up and running on three other machines on the network, two
on the LAN running Windows XP (service pack 2) and one on the WLAN
running OS X (tiger).

the machine I'm having trouble with is a new IBM thinkpad running
Windows XP (SP2) over the same WLAN, using an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
network card.

I've run through most of the FAQ's and sifted through a few other forums
as well, but none of the prescribed solutions seem to work.  When I open
Ethereal I can view all of the available capture interfaces, and I've
identified each of them, two wireless and one ethernet and none of them,
when connected, can capture packets using winpcap or ethereal.  I was
however able to capture traffic over each interface using WinDump -p
from the command line.

I've got the most recent version of winpcap installed, and I think it's
having trouble and preventing the capture due to some internal
settings.  I also have tried disabling all firewalls both internal and
external... to no avail.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
A
